and analysed the impact before the announcement was made yesterday by the Chief Minister and that the party would ensure that electricity tariffs are not hiked and water and medicines are provided free of cost at government hospitals.

Sisodia said lots of good things have happened during the two-year rule of the AAP in Delhi and common man is now happy that they are getting free medicines in government hospitals and parents of children are applauding us for no fee hike made in private schools.

Yesterday, in a major poll promise, Kejriwal had announced that house tax will be abolished and pending dues will be waived if the Aam Aadmi Party emerges victorious in the municipal elections.

Kejriwal called the current house tax structure as "draconian", and alleged that it has become a source of widespread corruption for municipal councillors and officers in all three civic bodies where BJP is in power for the last 10 years.

There are an estimated nine lakh property tax payers in the city and about Rs 600 crore in revenue is earned annually by the three civic bodies, according to official sources.

Civic polls are to be held on April 23 and are seen as a crucial test of AAP's popularity in the city after its "disappointing" performance in Punjab and Goa Assembly polls.

With zero house tax poll promise, it is clear that the Aam Aadmi Party, which had a stunning victory in Delhi in 2015, is again banking on populist measures to woo voters.
