Goa Power Minister Nilesh Cabral today said he had accepted a challenge from his Delhi AAP counterpart Satyendar Jain for a debate on the announcement made by AAP on providing 300 units of electricity free per household per month if elected to power in the 2022 Assembly polls here. Nilesh Cabral had said the announcement by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal during his visit here would lead to the finances of the coastal state getting affected.
