Eyeing to dismantle the Aam Aadmi Party’s Delhi bastion in a high-stakes poll battle in the national capital, the BJP is likely to announce free electricity for the residents upto 300 units, sources said on Thursday.

This will be 100 units more than what the current AAP government provides to the people of the city, which has been termed as “freebies" on many occasions to woo voters.

After consecutive Assembly poll drubbing in Delhi in 2015 and 2020 at the hands of AAP, the BJP is keen to breach the AAP’s fortress in the city in the February 5 elections.

According to sources, the saffron camp is also planning to announce free electricity in religious places like temples and Gurudwara upto 500 units.

The party is also likely to promise free and clean drinking water via pipeline.

Based on its pleasant experiences with women-centric schemes, which are widely regarded as one of the main reasons for the party’s resounding victories in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, the BJP is likely to announce schemes similar to Ladli Behna Yojana in Delhi, sources said.
