Panaji, Aug 27 (TIWN) The Goa government's recent decision to announce 'freebies' has nothing to do with a 'similar' poll promise made by the Aam Aadmi Party, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said on Thursday.
The state assembly elections are due in early 2022. “There are those who are demanding that things should be given free, let me tell them, I did not make these announcements because of what they said. For the last two years, the government has been paying this (power tariff) subsidy, but now the cabinet has taken a decision, that is why people came to know about it,” Sawant said, referring to the power tariff rebate announced on Wednesday, which he said would cost the state government Rs 120 crore.
