AAP opposes non-allocation of power subsidy in Delhi's interim Budget

Party slams Centre by calling it 'betrayal' to the public

BS Reporter New Delhi
Opposing the Centre's move of not granting power subsidies in Delhi's interim Budget, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday termed the move as a "betrayal" of public's trust.

The AAP said it had made provisions for providing subsidies till September before resigning.

"When the preparations for the interim Budget had started, the AAP government had made a provision for this relief to continue and the power department was ready with its proposal. The Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government's decision to reverse this pro-people measure is a betrayal of the trust of the Delhi people," the party said.
