PANAJI: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today announced that his party would provide free electricity to people if it wins Assembly elections in Goa.
Addressing the media, Kejriwal said that every family would get up to 300 units per month of free electricity if AAP is voted to power in the coming elections in February 2022.
He also announced that AAP would waive off arrears bills of every consumer if voted to power.
Also, he promised that the farmers, who are the backbone of India’s economy, would get free power for agricultural purposes.
He also announced that Goa would get 24×7 power.
“If people in Delhi can get free electricity, then why not free power for people in Goa,” he added.
Kejriwal said that despite Goa being a power-surplus state, frequent power cuts in the coastal state are frequent.
“Power is not the issue of Goa. There is surplus power but only distribution is an issue,” he said.
Defections a major concerns: AK
He slammed MLAs who left Congress and other parties to join the BJP after the last Assembly elections in Goa. Going by the numbers, those who should have been in opposition are now ruling the state, and those who should have been in power are currently in the opposition, Kejriwal said.
“These MLAs who switched sides claimed that they were joining the BJP to get people’s work done. Did they do people’s work as they claimed? Now people are saying that they switched sides for the lure of money. People feel betrayed,” the Delhi CM said.
Thousands of Goans are claiming they will not vote for either BJP or Congress in the next elections, Kejriwal said.
“Goa wants to change. People want clean politics,” he added.
