Ahead of assembly election in Punjab next year, Delhi Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday promised free electricity in that state if the Aam Aadmi Party wins the poll.
Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal on Monday announced that free electricity will be provided to all in Punjab if the party wins the 2022 election and forms the government in the state.
Assembly election in Punjab are scheduled to be held in February or March next year.
The Delhi CM, however, said that he would share additional details during his visit to Chandigarh on Tuesday.
Kejriwal also claimed that women in Punjab are very unhappy with inflation.
“…In Delhi we provide 200 units of free electricity to every family. The women are very happy. Women in Punjab are also very unhappy with inflation. The AAP government will also provide free electricity in Punjab. See you tomorrow in Chandigarh,” Arvind Kejriwal tweeted in Punjabi.
Arvind Kejriwal had earlier announced that the party’s chief ministerial face for the 2022 Punjab assembly poll will be from the Sikh community.
When asked who will be the chief ministerial face of the party for the upcoming polls, Kejriwal said, “Discussions are going on in the party regarding this, when time comes, you will be informed.”
“But one thing I can tell you is that the entire Punjab will be proud of him. One thing is certain that AAP’s CM face will be from the Sikh community,” he said.
Kejriwal said the people of Punjab are fed up with the present leadership ruling the state and added that the state is looking for a new type of leadership.
