Lucknow: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has made a big announcement before Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections. Just like Aam Aadmi Party, even he is willing to give 300 units of free electricity for households. He will also provide free electricity to farmers for irrigation. This freebie is only available only if he is voted and wins the Assembly Elections.
These promises were made by him while addressing a public meeting in Lucknow on Saturday. “Domestic consumers will be given free electricity up to 300 units by the SP government. Farmers will get free electricity to irrigate their fields,” the former UP chief minister said.
