Chandigarh: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Convener National Kejriwal on Tuesday promised 300 free electricity units for all domestic consumers in Punjab, in addition to the neglect of delayed electricity bills and unbroken supply if it won the next assembly selection.
Overcoming MediaTeka here, Delhi CM said, “This is a guarantee of Kejriwal, and not a promise of the captain (Amarinder Singh).
As soon as AAP forms the government, the announcement of around 300 units and Bill Waiver will be implemented immediately.
But ensuring 24-hour supply will take 2 -3 years.
“Even though Kejriwal has not announced it to the media that the benefits will be every month, the claim is then added by party leadership.
“Power rates are the highest in Punjab even though the country produces electricity.
It is because private force producers are in collusion with the state government.
We need to end this to make cheaper power in Punjab.” Aap Mla has gone to villages and people – Troubled people because the bill is increasing.
Bhagwant (Mann) told me that a poor man with one fan and two tubers at home got a 50,900 rs bill and the supply was cut off for non-payment.
AAP will release all the old bills and restore the power connection.
In Punjab villages, people use illegal ‘kundi’ connections because someone cannot live without power.
We will restore family dignity like that, “he said.” Punjab people, especially women will benefit from this announcement.
When we first fought with the 2013 election, it was the same situation in Delhi.
People are accustomed to getting increased bills and private companies are in gloves with the country, “he added.” According to our calculations, 77 to 80% of the household will get zero power bills here.
In Delhi, 73% of families get Zero Bill.
“Punjab is a power surplus, but there is a long wound.
We will ensure supply without interruption,” he said.
Kejriwal said the power unit exceeds 300 free units will be charged according to the general level.
“When we made this announcement in Delhi, even then we were asked where the funds were.
It was magic and we know how to do it.
I have done my calculations,” said Aap Supremo, added, “said the Punjab government to spend Rs 60,000 on Every citizen.
Where the money goes to? Go to liquor and sand mafia.
We will stop all the mafia and this final contract with a private company.
There is no shortage of funds, there is a lack of intention.
“Responding to the media, Kejriwal said that today the rules Mafia is rampant in Punjab including sand, mining, medicine, liquor, transportation and other mafia.
He said that there was no deficiency in Punjab, but it was sucked by political leaders.
President Punjab State Bhagwant Mann said AAP gave a “guarantee” and those announced in Delhi had been delivered.
“Power fare is one of 188 points marked by the High Command Congress to the Chairman of the Minister of Amarinder Singh.
This shows that the powerful party has failed to fulfill his promise,” Mann added.
