Responding to Tiwari's poll promise, Kejriwal asked him to implement these subsidies first in BJP-ruled states.
"Five times more subsidy. Meaning? Instead of 200 units, you will give 1000 units free. Instead of 20 thousand litres, 1 lakh litres of water will be given free? You are making fun of the public with such promises. Implement it before Delhi elections in any one BJP ruled state?" he said in a tweet, tagging a news report about Tiwari promising five times the present subsidy.
