Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which is the main opposition party in Punjab, has promised that it will provide free electricity upto 300 units in the state along with ensuring 24 hours power supply without any cuts if it is elected to power in the elections scheduled to be held next year. It also said that all old electricity bills will be waived off. The announcements were made by Delhi Chief Minister and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal in Chandigarh today. He said that this will ease the financial burden on women making it easier for them to run their households.
“Women are suffering the most from high power tariffs. They have to run their household but they pay more than 50 per cent of their earnings in paying the electricity bill,” said the Delhi CM.
