Delhi assembly elections: AAP announces free electricity, water scheme for tenants in Delhi, if voted to power

PTC News Desk: AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal has announced scheme to provide free electricity and water for tenants in Delhi, if voted to power. 

Addressing a press conference on Saturday, Kejriwal said, "We have provided free electricity and water to residents of Delhi. However, it is unfortunate that tenants do not get these benefits. Today, I want to announce that if our government is formed after the elections, we will introduce a system to provide free electricity and water for tenants."

"Most tenants in Delhi are from Purvanchal, and many of them are very poor. They face financial hardships as they are unable to avail the subsidies. To address this, we will begin providing free electricity and water for the tenants as well if we come to power again," he added.

Aam Aadmi Party's latest poll promise to voo the voters of Delhi comes few days after a startling controversy erupted over the schemes.

Earlier on Friday, the party had announced that male students studying in schools and colleges will be offered free bus facility and 50 per cent concession in metro fare if AAP government returns to power in Delhi.

"The Aam Aadmi Party government gives maximum importance to education. The poor miss out on education because they do not have money. If our government is formed again, students will be provided free bus facility. It is free for girl students now and we will make it free for boys too, said Arvind Kejriwal," said Kejriwal.

Not to mention, as of now women in Delhi can avail free bus services in all AC and non-AC buses operated by the Delhi Transport Corporation.
