The other "guarantees" included free pilgrimage for senior citizens. According to Kejriwal, the tenth guarantee is about farmers and tribals, which he will reveal during his next visit.

The AAP tried its luck for the first time in Chhattisgarh assembly elections in 2018, fielding candidates in 85 of 90 seats but failing to win.
