After Congress, AAP poll promises: BJP reiterates its 125 units free electricity promise in HP

The BJP government in Himachal Pradesh on Sunday reiterated its promise of 125 free units of electricity ahead of Assembly polls in the state. Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur announced to launch ‘125 units of free electricity’ scheme for consumers across the state at a function organised by HP State Electricity Board on Sunday.

The announcement is in continuation of the ruling BJP’s 125 free electricity units scheme implemented by the state earlier. The poll promise comes in the wake of Congress promising 300 free electricity units if voted to power and AAP’s electricity subsidy model that they wish to implement in poll-bound states.

The CM said that the government’s recent announcement of electricity subsidy has benefitted over 14 lakh consumers who are now getting zero bills.
