"No 24 hr power supply in 20 BJP ruled states": Arvind Kejriwal

New Delhi [India], January 29 (ANI): Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal claimed that there is no 24-hour electricity supply in the 20 Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-ruled states, adding that Delhi is the only place getting 24 hours of power supply.
Addressing a public rally at Jahangirpur Assembly Constituency, Kejriwal said, "Friends, you have assigned me the responsibility of Delhi for the last ten years. (You) made me the Chief Minister of Delhi...We executed several works. But you will agree with one thing. The electricity has been made available 24 hours. Are there power cuts? Do you need a generator or an inverter? It is a big thing".
"The BJP has government in 20 states. There are not 24 hours of electricity in any one of the BJP states," he claimed asking the people to verify his claims by making phone calls in these states.
"If you press the wrong button Lotus symbol of the BJP- then there will be power cuts," he said, asking the voters to press the button for the broom-AAP's election symbol- to get 24 hours of electricity. " The electricity is cheap in Delhi in the entire country...It is a miracle," he said, highlighting the schemes of the ruling AAP government in the last ten years.
Targeting the BJP, Kejriwal alleged, " At least everyone gets a bill of Rs 5000 in the BJP states...These (BJP) people have announced to stop the free electricity if they are voted to power...Where will you get such an amount to pay Rs 5000 out of a salary of Rs 20, 000, Rs 25,000, Rs 30,000 and Rs 50,0000"
The Delhi Assembly elections will take place on February 5, with the counting of votes scheduled for February 8.
A total of 699 candidates are contesting for 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly.
The Congress party, which held power in Delhi for 15 years, has faced major setbacks in the past two elections, while AAP has secured overwhelming victories in 2015 and 2020. (ANI)
