Kejriwal announces free electricity upto 200 units consumption in a month

In view of the Delhi assembly elections coming nearer a worried Delhi chief minister is announcing concessions after concessions for the Delhi populace especially for the electorates living in unauthorized colonies and the JJ clusters who are considered to be the largest vote chunk i. e. 60% of the total vote.

While the upper-middle class and the rich never come for a vote they are primarily the people of the lower middle class and those living at the lowest ebb, vote in large numbers as they can be swayed, influenced and impressed by various means. In the past, while the BJP had its major upper hand over the rich and the middle class, the Congress party commanded the vote bank of the people of unauthorized colonies as well as the JJ clusters of Delhi majority of which were established by the later as a vote bank.

But after the Aam Aadmi Party’s coming into the fray in Delhi the Congress party’s total vote bank shifted to it including the minorities which are quite in good number in the east and northeast constituencies including the South Delhi’s Okhla and Jamia Nagar etc.

To keep these vote banks in good humor Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has announced sops in power tariff by declaring that his govt would deliver free electricity up to 200 units consumption in a month while 50 % subsidy on 201 to 400 units.

This would be a great boost for those living at the lowest ebb of the society especially in JJ clusters having one or two rooms consuming less than 200 units a month. He had also announced free travel for women irrespective of age difference in all the buses of Delhi Transport Corporation.

Prior to these freebies, the Delhi chief Arvind Kejriwal had announced free travel for women of Delhi in Delhi Metro rails, the 800 crores annual burden as if it would be borne by him personally.

Though it’s still a dream source say that modalities are being finalized between both the governments to bring the scheme into effect at the earliest.

If all these sops are implemented at the earliest there is no reason for Kejriwal’s party not coming to power in Delhi by winning the 2020 election in February defeating the BJP. The Congress has already been decimated in Delhi and after the demise of its veteran president, things have become more awry for the Congress which is lacking its president at the national party level as well as in Delhi.

Arvind Kejriwal has also doled out freebies in the health, education, power and water sector in Delhi. All government hospitals and dispensaries are fully equipped with free medicines supplied to one and all and the government schools upgraded to a great extent and we expect to see outstanding results at par with the outcomes of high profile private schools. Water up to 30000 liters consumption is free for Delhites and now free electricity up to 200 units consumption on a monthly basis.

The Delhi Bhartiya Janata Party has criticized Arvind Kejriwal’s attempts to distribute freebies saying that it’s because of the elections coming near that he is misguiding the electorates of Delhi. He added that Bhartiya Janata Party in Delhi has waged a long struggle to compel Kejriwal to declare the concessions, therefore, it’s not him but BJP which deserves the credit.
