Chandigarh Ahead of assembly elections in Punjab early next year, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday promised 300 units of free electricity for each household in the state and waiver of their pending bills if his party wins the state polls.
Kejriwal, whose party is the principal opposition in Punjab, also assured the restoration of electricity supply to domestic category consumers whose connections have been snapped due to arrears, and round-the-clock power supply in the state. “With 300 units of free power to each household, 77-80% families in Punjab will get zero bill. They will get 24-hour power but no bill,” Kejriwal said at a press meet at the Chandigarh Press Club.
