Kejriwal linked the probe to the Assembly polls in Gujarat. AAP’s “free electricity guarantee” has been received “very well” by the people of Gujarat, and “that’s why the BJP wants to stop free electricity in Delhi”, he said.

Delhi LG Vinai Kumar Saxena has ordered a probe into the alleged irregularities in the power subsidy scheme of the AAP dispensation, prompting a strong response from Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal who linked it to the Gujarat polls and claimed the move aimed at stalling the free electricity initiative.
Saxena has directed Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar to conduct a probe into the alleged irregularities in the AAP government’s power subsidy scheme and submit a report within seven days, said sources. Complainants, including lawyers and jurists, have alleged a “massive scam” in the scheme.
