PANAJI: Ridiculing AAP’s power freebies, Congress said that Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal was trying to hoodwink Goan voters by promising 300 units of free power. Congress said that power consumers will have to pay double the amount per unit if they consume even one unit more than 300.
Former AAP MLA and present Congress member from Delhi Alka Lamba said that AAP should not look at Goa as an “experimental lab” to test out new political strategies.
“In Delhi, 200 units of power are free and if you consume 200 units of power you have to pay Rs 3 per unit. But when you cross 201, then you have to pay Rs 6.5 per unit. In Goa, it will be the same,” said Lamba.
Lamba said that AAP will increase the electricity tariffs, which will make electricity expensive for high power consumers.
“Arvind Kejriwal said that in Goa 80% of the consumers will not need to pay the bill and this is because the remaining 20% will be paying the bills of the others,” Lamba said.
