Kejriwal in Dehradun today, to promise free electricity to poll-bound U’khand

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal will visit Uttarakhand’s capital Dehradun on Sunday, in a bid to expand his Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) base. The visit is crucial in view of the assembly elections in Uttarakhand next year.

Kejriwal is going to the state with a pitch to provide free electricity to the people of Uttarakhand.

“Uttarakhand itself generates electricity and also sells it to other states. Then why is electricity so expensive for the people of Uttarakhand? Delhi does not generate its own electricity and buys it from other states. Still, electricity in Delhi is free. Shouldn’t the people of Uttarakhand get free electricity? See you tomorrow in Dehradun,” Kejriwal said in a tweet ahead of the visit.
