For political parties, it’s all about power for power. Just about a day after BJP-led Government in the neighbouring Himachal Pradesh announced 125 units of power free to all households, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government in Punjab on Saturday announced 300 units per month free for its domestic power consumers.
The decision, fulfilling the first “guarantee” given by AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on June 29, last year, in run-up to Punjab polls, will not only silence its critics in Punjab but is also expected to give the much-needed push to the party which is eyeing to expand its base to other states now.
