300 units free electricity per month if AAP comes to power in Gujarat: Kejriwal
Taking cue from the existing model in Delhi and Punjab, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday announced sops for the people of Gujarat in the run up to the assembly elections, one of them being round-the-clock free electricity up to 300 (kWh) units per month for household consumers, if his party is voted to power.
Kejriwal, while addressing a town hall meeting in Surat, said inflation is one of the most pressing issues faced by the people of Gujarat today and as a step in this direction to ease the burden on the masses, his party will provide free electricity within three months of coming to power.
“We have delivered our promise of free electricity in Delhi and in Punjab where the party came to power only on March 16 this year. In Gujarat, people are facing the issue of high electricity charges. We will not only provide free power supply of up to 300 units, but also ensure 24 hours of uninterrupted power. We will implement this within three months of being voted to power. You will have to pay nothing of the bill amount if its within 300 units,” Kejriwal said.
