AAP's campaign and Kejriwal's first guarantee for free 24/7 electricity stands vindicated as faced by public pressure the state government brings an electricity subsidy to prevent price rise.
In a press release, AAP states that the BJP, whose power minister arrogantly defended his decision to not provide free 24/7 electricity today has taken one more u-turn after being faced with the massive public support AAP Goa has received for its electricity campaign. AAP said it has stopped the criminal loot of increasing power prices without a single MLA in the Assembly, already proving it is the only viable opposition to the BJP.
Congratulating Goenkars on this victory AAP National Convenor and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal urged Goans to "Change your Govt, AAP will provide free Electricity".
On Tuesday, AAP had highlighted how Goans across the state have supported the first guarantee by Arvind Kejriwal for free 24/7 electricity. The party shared that it has reached out to half of Goa's households and received an average of 80% of them support the first guarantee by Arvind Kejriwal.
In the release, AAP highlighted three specific constituencies including that of CM Pramod Sawant, Valpoi and Curchorem of the power minister wherein households have endorsed AAP's politics.
AAP further stated that this groundswell of support is what seems to have terrified the BJP who in firefighting mode last week announced free water to Goan households, a promise that was widely panned across Goa as Goans highlighted severe supply issues. Hot on the heels of this the Sawant government has announced its electricity subsidy backtracking on a year of bravado. It's clear that AAP has scared the BJP.
"Congratulations to the people of Goa, this is our first victory and not our last! Veej Andolan and Arvind Kejriwal's guarantee of free 24/7 electricity gives a 400W shock to Pramod Sawant. Only AAP can understand and solve the difficulties of every Goan," said AAP Goa Convenor Rahul Mhambre.
