Questioning the opposition for criticism he said that if ministers can get 3,000 units of free electricity then what is wrong in giving 300 units of free electricity to citizens.
"BJP and Congress say that Kejriwal is distributing everything for free. I want to ask each and every leader that every minister gets 3,000 units of free electricity every month and if I want to give 300 units free every month to my citizens then what is wrong with this?," said Kejriwal on Tuesday.
Kejriwal further added, "Why are leaders hurting by this? Politicians are hurting because with these schemes all of their corruption money will end."
As the state of Goa would go for Assembly elections in 2022, the AAP chief has promised 300 units of free electricity for people in the state. He further promised that if they come into power, his party will waive off old electricity bills till the next assembly elections.
