New Delhi: AAP spokesperson Ajoy Kumar lashed out at the opposition while saying that they are unhappy with the pro-people initiatives that Delhi government is taking to improve lifestyle of the people. Giving the example of senior BJP leader Vijay Goel, he said that Goel objected to the free electricity being provided to the people of Delhi then he should not use free units and instead pay for each unit.
Kumar said, "I want to tell Goel as an MP he gets 50,000 units of free electricity annually, therefore, he should sacrifice that free electricity and pay the electricity bill being used by him. If he can get free electricity then why can't general people get the same."
Citing some data related to electricity in 2013, Ajoy Kumar said that a family had to pay Rs 365 for 100 units, about Rs 690 for 200 units, but since the AAP-government has come to Delhi, electricity prices have not been increased even once in the last 5 years, but today up to 200 units of electricity are being provided free in Delhi. "If we compare the electricity charges of the entire country then we will see that Delhi govt provides the cheapest electricity," he said.
"There are about two crore people in Delhi, which means about 40 lakh families. Today, each family is saving from about 600 to 800 rupees per month due to the AAP govt schemes and this means the development works are being done in favour of the people of Delhi," he added.
