Goa, Delhi Power ministers in public face-off over tariff structures

Goa Power Minister Nilesh Cabral and his Delhi counterpart Satyendar Jain on Monday had a much anticipated public face-off over the virtues of the power tariff structures in place in the two states.

The public debate between the two ruling politicians took place in Panaji, more than a week after Cabral challenged the Aam Aadmi Party — which is gearing up for a high visibility election campaign ahead of the 2022 polls and which has promised free 300 units of power for domestic connections, as well as uninterrupted 24×7 power supply, if the party comes to power.

During the debate Jain said that the free 300 power units would serve as a boon to nearly 87 per cent households in Goa.
