Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday announced 300 units of free power for every household in Punjab.

He is in Chandigarh to unveil and promise a slew of sops that his party will offer to Punjabis if voted to power.

He also announced that uninterrupted power supply will be available in the state, once AAP forms the government.

“It will take three years for us to upgrade the infrastructure, and then we will be able to provide uninterrupted power supply,” he said.

AAP state president and Lok Sabha Member Bhagwant Mann said Kejriwal would also announce facilities for the people of Punjab if the AAP wins on the lines of the unlimited facilities being provided to the people of Delhi. He could also promise to provide free electricity to the people or save them from costly electricity.

He said at present paddy sowing is in full swing but due to non-availability of electricity the farmers are not sowing it properly.

"Arvind Kejriwal will also present his formula for overcoming the power crisis in Punjab," he added.

On the Punjab government's refusal to allow Kejriwal's press conference at Punjab Bhavan here, Mann said Kejriwal was coming to expose the lies of the government to the people of Punjab, which had frightened the government.

He said the truth could never be suppressed and no matter what the government insists, AAP will hold a press conference to reach out to the people.
