50% subsidy, no penalty: AAP rewards electricity bill defaulters
February 12, 2014 14:31
The ruling Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi has announced a mega-reward for defaulters on power bills.
Those who did not pay for electricity between October 2012 and April 13 will owe only half of what they were billed.
The announcement was made today by senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia, who said that Delhi residents who supported the party's campaign against allegedly inflated power prices, would be given 50% subsidy and would be charged no penalty.
Sisodia, a minister, said that households who did pay their bills during this period will not be refunded.
AAP, headed by Arvind Kejriwal who is now Chief Minister, promised to combat corruption and make power and water cheaper in its campaign for the Delhi election.
The party made a dream debut in that poll, the first it ever contested.
Kejriwal had promised to halve electricity rates after coming to power.
