New Delhi: Ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has promised 50% reduction in electricity bill to every household if voted to power.

The party has put up hoardings, carrying photographs of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP’s chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi, at various places across the national capital promising to slash power bills by 50% by providing LED bulbs at cheap rates.

In the last Assembly elections, BJP had promised to slash electricity tariff by 30%.

Sources in the party said reduction in electricity bill was one of the main promises made by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the last elections following which it had formed government.

This time, the BJP does not want to give any reason for AAP to outdo the party in the Delhi polls, the sources said.
