Punjab: Govt announces 300 units of free power from July 1

On Saturday, the Punjab-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government announced their decision of providing 300 units of free electricity for every household from July 1.

This announcement comes on the day when the Bhagwant Mann-led government completed it's one month in the office today.

Providing free electricity to every household for up to 300 units was one of the major promises made by the AAP in Punjab in the Assembly elections that concluded last month.

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal would later laud his decision and said that the AAP does not make false promises.

"Bhagwant ji, many congratulations for this wonderful decision. We fulfilled our first promise. We do what we say. We don't make false promises like other parties," Kejriwal tweeted in Hindi.

भगवंत जी,इस शानदार निर्णय के लिए बहुत बधाई
