  They got some serious claims. Like water and power for instance. They must be having some kind of plan, only then they could say. Maybe they are focusing on their own power unit. They are reducing the privatization. Introducing some schemes on save electricity kind of, maybe increase revenue on corporate sale of power, limit power consumption level per meter. Maybes are too many

  Well, their manifesto looks good on paper and I'll really appreciate if they can do it. I'm not skeptic about their plan because Kejariwal is an engineering (IIT KGP) and I'd trust his knowledge about reducing the bills by 50%. I'm more interested in knowing 'how'?
  
  Setting up their own power plant isn't going to be easy on Delhi's budgets. The only thing that seems 'workable' is that they cut down the commissions of the distribution companies by a HUGE margin - and I'm not sure how's that going to work.
  
  Corporate power will be sold at a higher price and if they raise the prices - then expect it to affect the manufacturing prices - which would ultimately come down on the common man AAP is trying to protect from inflation. They may simple execute load shading - but that's not what AAP has promised. People may not respond to 'save electricity drives'. Habits take a long time to change.
  
  Do we have AAP volunteers here?

  Well they are going to cut down commission and stop corrupt scenes for sure. If that is the real reason and the major one behind high prices then it is a real shame for us. And this doesn't need Kejriwal to fix. Any responsible government can. But again. Congress!

  AAP volunteers knows that what AAP is going to do, 'HOW?' they do not have concrete answer...
  
  Being a NCR resident I can think of following:
  - Saving crores of money that is going in corruption and use that for bearing some cost by government
  - Saving some money from third parties that works as middle men in electricity supply
  - NCR is THE AREA that waste the electricity on road's and corporate offices. They may have plans to install solar units their to save the electricity that will reduce the consumption and price
  - Making a pact with neighboring electricity generator state for give (they require) n take (electricity)
  
  These are just guess... because I am sure AAP must be thinking of reducing price mostly using administrative way only, because if they had some techno plans they can execute that without forming the government as well, right?

  If they can curb the prices by 50% using those mechanisms - it'd be an interesting exercise (a Ph.D topic) to see how the prices are influenced by unwanted middlemen and corruption. Installing solar powered lights on the streets may be an option; but I'm totally unaware of how economical it will be under current situation.
  
  I think they've no plans to make technical tweaks. It'd also be interesting to see how they ensure that every part of Delhi receives electricity 24x7; that's not mentioned in their manifesto but I'm sure people would expect that.

  I am little worried because AAP is still unsure to be the winner of elections while party leader had said that his party is ready for fresh elections.is this a publicity stunt?

  guys according to my views our india is totally corrupted and i donot blem the polliticiencs for all this because it happened just because of public. Guys as you take the matter of delhi electricity bill at half rates so i want to say that it is not a hard task if there is far policy i.e. about 40% public uses the electricity power but not pay for that they uses it freely but some people uses and pay for it and as you know that the government will buy the electricity from other states so will have to pay for all the units comsumed and these unit are the combination of that 40% people useage and other since these 40% do not have any connection so the whole electricity bill is distriuted among the other people who pay for it and the charges increases.
  So if the electricity theft is blocked or monimised the electicity bills will itself gets minimised. so guys am i right if i am wrong pls correct me.
