NEW DELHI: BJP MP Parvesh Verma on Monday said his party will levy a token charge of Re 1 for water and power supply to poor people in the city, if it wins the upcoming assembly polls.

Verma said he has conveyed his suggestion to the party's manifesto committee and it could be one of the poll promises of BJP for the assembly elections slated to take place on February 8.
