Breaking News: Bihar Govt Announces 125 Units of Free Electricity Ahead of Elections | ABP NEWS
In a major pre-election move, the Bihar government has announced 125 units of free electricity for households starting August 1. The scheme, launched by the Nitish Kumar-led administration, aims to ease the burden on common people amid rising utility costs. Under this initiative, households consuming up to 125 units per month will not have to pay any electricity charges. The state government will bear the full cost, offering relief to approximately 1.67 crore families across Bihar. The decision comes ahead of the upcoming state assembly elections, signaling a strong welfare push from the ruling government. Officials confirmed that the scheme is designed to provide direct economic benefit to lower- and middle-income families, while also encouraging efficient power usage. The announcement has sparked political discussions as parties gear up for the electoral battle later this year.
