Kejriwal slams Congress, BJP for criticising his free electricity promise in Goa

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal hit out at the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for censuring him over his promise of providing free electricity to the people of Goa.

As a part of his promises in poll-bound Goa, Arvind Kejriwal, the national convener of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), said that every family in the coastal state will get 300 units of electricity per month for free, all old and pending electricity bills will be waived off, there will be 24×7 supply of electricity in Goa and farmers of the state will also get free electricity.

Addressing a gathering in Sattari on Tuesday, Kejriwal said, “The BJP and Congress say that Kejriwal is distributing everything for free. When a minister can get 3,000 units of electricity free of cost every month, why cannot I give 300 units to the common man?”
