Delhi Power Minister Satyendar Jain promises free power, Goa minister says it doesn’t work
NEW DELHI: Delhi Power Minister Satyendar Jain had an open debate with his Goa counterpart Nilesh Cabral in Goa on Monday. Jain said power tariffs in the state would not increase in the next five years if AAP comes to power.
Cabral said the BJP government in Goa would not provide free electricity, but continue to supply it at highly subsidised rates. He added that ‘freebies’ like the one promised by the AAP leader come at a heavy cost to the state exchequer. Cabral also claimed the AAP government in Delhi was taxing people in other ways to make up for the losses brought about by such freebies.
