"There is no difference between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal. They have done nothing for the national capital," Reddy said.
Meanwhile, Devender Yadav said the party came up with the promises on the back of feedback it gleaned from the Delhi Nyay Yatra.
"We took out the Delhi Nyay Yatra and got to know about the issues of people which helped us come up with these five guarantees. Today we have announced two more guarantees -- 'Mehangai Mukti Yojana' and 'Free Bijli Yojana'. We will implement these five guarantees in the first cabinet meeting if we come to power," he said.
On January 6, the Congress had announced its 'Pyaari Didi Yojana,' promising a monthly monetary grant of Rs 2,500 to women, if it is voted to power. The party announced its 'Jeevan Raksha Yojana' two days later, under which it promised to provide free health insurance of up to Rs 25 lakh.
The party on Sunday also promised to give Rs 8,500 every month to educated unemployed youths in Delhi every month for one year. Polling for the 70-member Delhi Assembly will be held on February 5 and votes will be counted on February 8.
