00:00The common man party and our government give the most importance to education.
00:08Because we will move forward only if we study.
00:11The country will move forward only if it studies.
00:14And there are many poor people, poor children,
00:18whose education is lost because they don't have money to go to school or college.
00:27The biggest announcement I am making today is that
00:31when our government is formed, students will also be given free bus travel.
00:36Now women have free bus travel.
00:40So the female students get the benefit of it.
00:44But the male students don't get it.
00:48But in Delhi we see that many students,
00:52most of the students use the metro.
00:56The metro is Delhi's lifeline.
00:59And the metro has become very expensive.
01:02A common student finds it very difficult to afford it.
01:06The metro is a 50-50 venture between the Delhi government and the central government.
01:11If there is a profit, it is 50-50 share.
01:14If there is a loss, it is 50-50 share.
01:17The capital investment is also 50-50 share.
01:22So I have written a letter to the Prime Minister today.
01:24I have written that we should give 50% concession to the students in the metro fare.
01:33And because of this, the expenditure that will come,
01:36due to giving the population,
01:38that expenditure should be shared between the Delhi government and the central government in the ratio of 50-50.
01:45This is a matter of public interest.
01:48There is no politics in this and there should be no politics.
01:51And I hope that for our children, for the youth,
01:55the Prime Minister will definitely accept this.
01:58And after the election is over,
02:00we will make free buses for the students.
02:04And we will give 50% concession to the children in the metro.
