Kejriwal’s Free Power Promise in Punjab to Electrify Poll Battle as Akali Dal, Congress Face Public's Ire

News 18  

Arvind Kejriwal’s promise of free power in Punjab on Tuesday on the lines of Delhi addresses a troubling poll issue in the northern state where consumers have been paying high electricity bills and are upset on this count before elections, both with the former Akali Dal-BJP regime as well as the Congress government. Now, Kejriwal is set to promise cheap power in Punjab like Delhi and also resolve to scrap and renegotiate the lopsided power purchase agreements with private companies which run power plants in Punjab. Kejriwal’s promise for Punjab may be on the lines of Delhi where power is free for the first 200 units while those consuming between 200 and 400 units get 50 per cent subsidy on their bill. Arvind Kejriwal will lay out the complete plan of reducing electricity tariff in Punjab,” AAP leader in Punjab assembly Harpal Cheema said.
