Arvind Kejriwal has turned the spotlight on Goa's state government with a post on the social media platform X, laying out three clear demands before the state's Chief Minister. He framed them as the wishes of the people of Goa, arguing the government is obliged to act on them.
The Three Demands
In his post, Kejriwal highlighted three specific points. First, that every household in the state be given 300 units of free electricity each month. Second, that all arrears on power bills be waived till 15 Jun. And third, that residents receive round-the-clock supply, that is 24x7 electricity, with no power cuts.
The Delhi and Punjab Template
The thinking behind the demands ties back to the model AAP claims to have rolled out in its other governments. The party has long argued that if domestic consumers in some states can be given free electricity up to a fixed limit, the same arrangement is workable in Goa too. That is why the power question has once again moved to the centre of the state's politics.
Public Reaction
The post drew a mixed response. Many users openly backed the call for free power and a waiver on arrears, calling it relief for ordinary families, while others raised questions about how free electricity, a debt waiver and uninterrupted supply could all be delivered together in practice.
