Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has during his recent visit to Goa, painted a rosy picture for the people of Goa with his pre-poll promises of a 24x7 power supply and free power up to 300 units, if his ‘Aam Aadmi Party’ (AAP) is voted to power in the 2022 Assembly elections. While all this seems encouraging and music to the ears of many in Goa, going by the frequent power outages and erratic power bills to the consumers in recent times, the question is whether this is all that is required to keep the people of Goa happy and contented? Does good governance also not include a state-wide 24x7 water supply, a pollution and garbage-free environment, good and safe motorable roads, affordable rates of petrol, diesel and cooking gas, a well-managed public transport system, affordable taxi service, etc. Can Kejriwal take up these challenges as well? --- something which the present and previous govts in Goa have failed miserably.
