Arvind Kejriwal said if BJP wins the Delhi civic elections, they'll stop all developmental works in the city.
The BJP wants to stop the free supply of power in Delhi but will not succeed in doing so, said Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today while seeking votes for his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the upcoming civic body elections in the national capital.
Mr Kejriwal, campaigning in Delhi's Paharganj, said if BJP wins the December 4 civic elections, they will stop all the developmental works in the city. The BJP is in power at the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
"They call it (free electricity) a freebie. They act like they are doing us a favour - as if we are beggars. Why do they keep calling it a freebie? It is because they want to stop the free supply of electricity in Delhi. But power supply will remain free until Kejriwal is alive," said the Chief Minister.
Mr Kejriwal had announced the free electricity scheme in Delhi in 2019, and his party banks on a similar assurance in the upcoming Gujarat elections.
