Ahead of Punjab polls, Kejriwal promises 300 units of free electricity to each family

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday announced 24-hour uninterrupted power supply and 300 units of free electricity per month to all domestic consumers in Punjab, if it comes to power.

Kejriwal said that all the existing beneficiary categories which were getting 200 free units like SCs, BCs, BPL families, freedom fighters, etc. will get 300 free units, to be charged only for over and above 300 units. In this way, if any of these beneficiaries consume 350 units in a month, then they will be charged for only 50 overstepped units. The first 300 units will be totally free for the consumers.

Kejriwal was accompanied by AAP state president and MP Bhagwant Mann, Punjab Affairs in-charge Jarnail Singh, co-incharge Raghav Chadha, Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Punjab Assembly, Harpal Singh Cheema, former IG, and party leader Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh. Kejriwal was on a one-day visit to Chandigarh to make these announcements for the people of Punjab as part of his first guarantee. Addressing a press conference held at the Chandigarh Press Club here, Arvind Kejriwal made certain announcements regarding electricity; stating that it was a guarantee of Kejriwal which will be fulfilled on the very first day of the AAP government, unlike tall promises of Captain Amarinder Singh, that were ‘never fulfilled’.
