ARVIND Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi and the convener of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), on Thursday (21) promised that his party will provide free electricity up to 300 units per month if it is voted to power in the western state of Gujarat where polls are due later this year.
Addressing people at a town hall meeting in the city of Surat, Gujarat, Kejriwal also guaranteed uninterrupted power supply without any cuts.
“I am giving you a guarantee. If you find any fault later, you are free not to vote for AAP in the next election. We will fulfil all the guarantees once we come to power in the state,” he said.
Kejriwal also said that all pending electricity bills issued before December 31, 2021, will be waived.
The AAP leader arrived in Surat late Wednesday (20) night on his second visit to the state this month.
He had said that in the next few weeks, the AAP would share with the people of Gujarat its agenda on what it plans to do for them if voted to power in the state.
He had claimed that the people of Gujarat were fed up with 27 years of the BJP rule and want a change.
The activist-turned-politician last visited Gujarat on July 3, when he held a town hall on the issue of free electricity in Ahmedabad.
Presenting the “Delhi model,” he had said free electricity is possible in Gujarat if corruption is eliminated.
The AAP has made free electricity a major poll issue in Gujarat, where Indian prime minister Narendra Modi once served as the chief minister.
The AAP recently came to power in Punjab, the second state it rules at the moment.
