Moving ahead with thefree electricity promise made recently to the people of Uttarakhand by Arvind Kejriwal, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Uttarakhand has started a campaign to reach 15 lakh households of the state on Saturday.

 The party claims that under the campaign ten thousand workers of the party have fanned out in all 70 assembly constituencies of the state with its unique ‘free electricity guarantee card’.

Delhi CM Kejriwal had recently promised 300 units of free electricity every month, waiver of old bills, uninterrupted electricity supply and free electricity to farmers if the party is voted to power in Uttarakhand.

Talking with the media persons in charge of the Uttarakhand unit of AAP, Dinesh Mohaniya said that 10000 workers of AAP would take the four guarantees given by Kejriwal to every household of the state. He said that under the campaign people would be digitally registered for the electricity guarantee. Mohania said that the AAP workers would also set up registration camps under the campaign. People can also register themselves on http://www.kejriwalbijliguarantee.in  for the free electricity campaign.

Mohania said that the registration would commence on July 18 and end on August 1.

Senior leader of AAP, Col ( Retd) Ajay Kothiyal said that Uttarakhand is suffering from political disaster from the last 20 years and the successive governments here have focussed on the well being of themselves instead of providing relief to the people. He said that some parties are terming free electricity as freebee but if chief minister, ministers and MLAs can get free electricity why it cannot be provided to the common public. He said that it is unfortunate that the state which is producing electricity for others as well cannot provide it free to its people.

The president of Uttarakhand unit of AAP, S S Kaler exhorted the party workers to carry the message of Kejriwal to every household.
