NEW DELHI: National convener of the Aam Aadmi Party Arvind Kejriwal pledged on Thursday that if his party wins elections in Gujarat this year, where voting is scheduled to take place, his party will offer free electricity up to 300 units per month.
At a town hall gathering in Surat, the chief minister of Delhi promised that there will be no interruptions in the provision of electricity.
"I'm giving you a guarantee. You are allowed to not cast your vote for AAP in the upcoming election if you discover any flaws later. Once we take control of the state, we will keep all of our promises," he declared. Kejriwal also announced that all outstanding electricity bills from before December 31, 2021, would be cancelled.
On his second trip to the state this month, the AAP leader landed late Wednesday night. He said that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), if elected to power in Gujarat, would share its agenda with the state's citizens within the coming weeks. He had asserted that the residents of Gujarat were tired of the BJP's 27-year reign and wanted a change.
On July 3, Kejriwal made his latest trip to Gujarat, attending a town hall in Ahmedabad to discuss the problem of free electricity. Presenting the "Delhi model," he said that Gujarat could offer free electricity if corruption was eradicated.
The Aam Aadmi Party has made free electricity a major poll plank in Gujarat, where polls are due in December.
