Kejriwal Congratulates Delhiites


Delhi CM Kejriwal informed that the power subsidy will persist in the national capital. He posted on X (formerly Twitter): “I congratulate the people of Delhi very much. Your 24 hours electricity (zero power cut) and free electricity has been extended till 31st March 2025. This also includes free electricity for the lawyers’ chambers. Many people had doubts about electricity subsidy - will they get it next year or not? Let me tell you that these people tried their best to stop it. But your son got this work done also. For your information, let me tell you that 24 hours electricity and free electricity is available only in Delhi and Punjab. In the rest of the country, there are long power cuts and electricity bills worth thousands of rupees have to be paid. Because there is a government of honest and educated people in Delhi,” Kejriwal said in a X post.
