Free electricity, subsidies to continue till 2025,” announces AAP Minister Atishi
Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Delhi Power Minister Atishi announced on Thursday that the Delhi government under the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal has extended the scheme for zero electricity bill s and subsidies to lawyers, farmers and victims of 1983 riots till 2024-25.
“Last year too, when the time for electricity subsidy came, so many attempts were made by the opposition to stop the subsidy. There came a time when we announced that ‘zero bill’ would end. This year too, there have been constant attempts in the past month to stop the Delhiites from receiving zero bills and ways to stop the subsidy of the Kejriwal government,” she said.
Atishi further said, “But as you all know once Kejriwal ji makes a promise to the people of Delhi, he fulfils his promise. Providing 24-hour free electricity in Delhi is a promise of the Arvind Kejriwal government, which we have been fulfilling for nine consecutive years. The electricity bill of 22 lakh families in Delhi is zero.”
