Arvind Kejriwal from the Aam Aadmi Party said that if they win again they will make free electricity and water available for tenants. He spoke at a press conference in Delhi where he said he’s heard from many renters who feel left out of the current programs. While they get the good schools and hospitals they don’t get free utilities like homeowners do.
Kejriwal explained it’s about fairness making sure everyone has the same advantages. He said his party will fix it if they’re in charge making sure renters get free electricity and water too. The plan is to change things so renters have the same free utilities as homeowners.
This idea came about because a lot of tenants said they were being left out of the social programs that helped homeowners. By fixing this Kejriwal and the AAP are hoping to get votes from people who live in rented homes in the next election.
