‘Vote for BJP, you’ll face more power cuts’: Arvind Kejriwal warns Delhi voters | Latest Delhi News

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Friday warned Delhi voters that they will again face power cuts if they vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming assembly elections.

“If you (Delhi residents) vote for the BJP, you will face power cuts again. Ask people in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar where people have to cut power for 8-10 hours. Also, electricity is free in Delhi, but it is very expensive in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Bihar,” PTI quoted Kejriwal as saying at a rally in Vikaspuri in Delhi.

The Aam Aadmi Party has intensified preparations for the Delhi Assembly elections, which are likely to be held in February next year. Kejriwal, who recently stepped down as the capital’s chief minister, has been campaigning across the city.

The AAP chief warned voters about power cuts during his padyatra (march) in Moti Nagar on Thursday, saying, “AAP’s work in these sectors is unparalleled in the last 75 years,” Kejriwal said. He said that if the BJP comes to power, Delhi could return to long power cuts like those seen in neighboring states like Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.”

“Some people are getting increased water bills, don’t worry, vote for me and make me chief minister, I will waive all your water bills,” PTI quoted Kejriwal as saying.

On October 19, Kejriwal criticized the BJP, saying that it wants to come to power in Delhi and not work for the welfare of the people.

“Don’t worry about who is there (in the elections) because Kejriwal will contest all these 70 seats. I will do your job irrespective of who is elected as MLA,” Kejriwal said in his address to AAP workers in Pithampur. .
