With Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commision (DERC) reducing fixed user charges and Delhi Government making 200 watts power consumption absolutely free, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal dared the main Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to provide free electricity for people consuming up to 200 units a month in poll-bound Maharashtra and Haryana.
Kejriwal statement came days after the BJP termed his announcement as “poll stunt”. The Chief Minister said that he would ask people to vote for the BJP if it implemented the decision announced by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in both the states where polls are due later this year.
