Free electricity? Delhi, Goa power ministers debate the policy
Legislative Assembly elections in Goa may still be six months away, but unlike politicians challenging each other to debates that never really take place, power ministers of Goa and Delhi shared the stage in Panaji on Monday, in a face-off much like the US presidential debate.
Amid heavy police deployment outside the Institute Menezes Braganza Hall in the Goan capital, BJP’s Nilesh Cabral, power minister of Goa, and AAP’s Satyendar Jain, power minister of Delhi, made their cases for or against the AAP’s poll promise of free power up to 300 units per household per month in the state. The session was moderated by journalist Rupesh Samant.
