Tenants in Delhi deprived of free power and water, will be brought under the scheme to cover them after Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) comes to power, party supremo Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday in the run up to the high-octane Delhi assembly election 2025.Addressing a press conference in the city on Saturday, Arvind Kejriwal highlighted concerns raised by tenants across Delhi. "Wherever I go, I meet people living on rent who say they benefit from good schools and hospitals but are deprived of free electricity and water schemes," he said.We will ensure that after the elections, tenants, many of whom belong to the Purvanchal region, will also enjoy the benefits of free electricity and water," Arvind Kejriwal added.
Voting for the Delhi assembly election will take place on February 5, while the counting of votes is scheduled for February 8 for the poll in which the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress are battling to stop the AAP from coming to power for the third straight term.The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP has announced several poll perks in the run up to the Delhi election, including ₹2,100 monthly honorarium for women, free healthcare for elderly, and ₹10 lakh insurance for auto drivers.
Arvind Kejriwal had also announced few days ago that Resident Welfare Associations (RWA) will be given money to hire private guards for security if AAP returns to power in Delhi.
