Arvind Kejriwal in Dehradun today with promise of free electricity to poll-bound Uttarakhand

Hindustan Times  

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal will visit Uttarakhand's capital Dehradun on Sunday, in a bid to expand his Aam Aadmi Party's base. This promise of Kejriwal comes just days after the Uttarakhand government announced on July 8 that 100 units of electricity will be provided free of cost every month to domestic consumers. State power minister Harak Singh Rawat said there are around 13 lakh consumers who come under the purview of 100 to 200 units of electricity. “That is, if someone gets a bill of 200 units in 2 months, then he will not have to pay any money,” the state power minister further said, adding those related to dairy, horticulture, and agriculture sectors, which were earlier under the commercial category of electricity consumers, will now be brought under the domestic category. Before Uttarakhand, Kejriwal had in June visited another poll-bound state, Punjab, where he promised 300 units of free electricity for each household along with a waiver of their pending bills.
