With 6 promises, Arvind Kejriwal hopes to give a glimpse into Goa under AAP
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal announced six promises that he hopes will give a glimpse into what Goa might look like under AAP rule. The four guarantees Kejriwal highlighted include round-the-clock power supply, 300 free units of electricity, free bus travel for all women, and scrapping a controversial provision of the Goa Town and Country Planning Act within a month.
Additionally, the party pledges to provide health insurance worth Rs 10 lakh for every family and establish a sports ground in every village. Kejriwal noted that the people of Goa are dissatisfied with the politics of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress, and are seeking change. The AAP and Goa Forward Party (GFP) formed an alliance called "Goa First" on September 13, which aims to offer an alternative to the BJP-Congress collusion.
In 2022, BJP won 20 seats, Congress secured 11, GFP won one, and AAP won two. Kejriwal assured that if AAP forms the government, past electricity tariff arrears for domestic consumers will be waived off within a week, and domestic consumers will receive 300 units of free electricity along with 24/7 power supply.
