The Congress party has appointed Arvinder Singh Lovely as the president of Delhi PCC, in place of Anil Chaudhary. This marks Lovely’s return to Congress after leaving the party to join BJP in 2017.

Arvind Kejriwal announced 300 units of free electricity with 24×7 power supply to cities and villages across Chhattisgarh if his party wins in the upcoming state Assembly elections. He criticized the state’s Congress government for the poor condition of government schools in Chhattisgarh. Kejriwal highlighted the achievements of his own government in Delhi’s education sector. Five states are scheduled to go to polls by the end of this year.
In attempts to cover a two-day visit for polls in Gujarat, Arwind Kejriwal and his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann are going to address public in the towns of Injha and Deesa. The Delhi Chief Minister claims to eradicate all community-based biases and false legal filings that the current ruling party has been leading on. He also took a jab at BJP by commenting that Gujarat needs a “new engine” government, not a “double-engine” government.
Today, the Supreme Court could conclude an expert panel to modulate freebies that are announced by political parties. SC, with a bench of RV Ramana, does not approve of claims such as free electricity for citizens, as it creates an economic strain upon the govt and disagrees with parties like AAP and DMK comparing freebies with welfare schemes for the needy. The current bench reasoned them to provide the means of arranging such capital. AAP, in opposition, commented that courts do not have the right to interfere in govt policy decisions on the basis of freedom of speech.
According to the report of RBI, Punjab is bunched with India’s 5 most fiscally vulnerable states. To irradicate the piling subsidies dues of about ₹9000 crore and govt departments’ liabilities of about ₹2600 crore, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann has requested for 1 lakh crore from the Centre. This will include actions like free 300 units electricity for every residence, which will only contribute in the rising crisis, says RBI. The AAP member emphasized upon the same in the recently held Niti Aayog meeting too.
