Middle-class challenges amid AAP's reforms

Are needs being fully addressed? Cost of living, education, & healthcare remain key concerns

As the government continues to implement its reforms in education, healthcare, and transport, many of Delhi's middle-class families find themselves at a crossroads, caught between the promise of change and the reality of rising challenges. While these reforms have made strides in improving basic services, many middle-class families are now questioning if their needs are being fully addressed.

Despite the AAP government's focus on public transport, including free bus and metro services, there are ongoing concerns about the reliability and safety of these modes of travel. "Commute might seem easy with free buses and metro services, but I still feel unsafe traveling on buses at night. The metro, too, doesn't always run on some of the major routes, making it difficult for us to get around. For people like us, the government should come up with on-road, cheaper services that can complement the existing options," says Alisha Khan, a resident of East Delhi.
