TIL Desk/National/Ahmedabad/ Ahead of the Gujarat Assembly elections due later this year, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said he will visit the state every week to interact with the public on various issues like corruption and farming, and claimed it was possible to provide free electricity to people if they bring an “honest party” to power in the state.
The Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) national convener said his party has shown in Delhi and Punjab that they stick to their promise. “Gujarat can also get cheap, free, 24-hour electricity, but the condition is only one, and that is you will have to change the politics, government, and bring in an honest party…I will be back on Sunday with a solution to Gujarat’s electricity problem,” Mr Kejriwal said during a town hall organised on the issue of electricity.
When some members of the general public raised various issues affecting them, the AAP leader said he will discuss them separately. “Today, we should discuss electricity. We will discuss other issues as well. I will visit Gujarat every week and hold ‘jan samvad’ (public dialogue) on the issues of corruption, agriculture, MSP (minimum support price),” he said. Mr Kejriwal said if Gujarat ministers can enjoy zero electricity bills despite consuming thousands of units, then why not the general public.
