AAP Announces 300 Units of Free Electricity For Households in Punjab. The development comes as Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann-led AAP government completed one month in the office today.

Chandigarh: The newly-formed Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab on Saturday announced 300 units of free electricity for state households from July 1, 2022, reported NDTV. The announcement is in line with the party’s poll promise ahead of recently concluded Punjab Assembly Elections.

The development comes as Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann-led AAP government completed one month in the office today. Hinting that the Punjab government could make the announcement soon, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday said his government will soon give a “good news” to the people of the state. “Had a wonderful meeting with our leader and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal. Very soon, will give good news to the people of Punjab,” Mann said in a tweet in Punjabi.

During Punjab election poll campaigns, AAP convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had said that people in state are “very unhappy” about the electricity costs. “Punjab generates surplus power, but has hours-long power cuts. On top of it, many people get inflated bills,” he had said while committing the free power supply of up to 300 units.
