Baghel wins heart through tweet on power-tariff slash

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Thursday won a few hearts by replying to a tweet from an apparent BJP supporter on power tariff cut.

Baghel, in a rare gesture, replied to a tweet from a youth from Bilaspur, who had several ‘chowkidars’— a terminology used these days to refer to BJP leaders— as his follower.

He had questioned Baghel as to why his electricity bill was not slashed to half as promised by the Congress before the Assembly elections.

Bhupesh in his reply wrote: “Ashish ji our government has slashed the power tariff to half and people of Chhattisgarh will avail its benefit from April 1. If your power bill is not reduced or if there are some slipups, then do tell me, I will be in service. Thanks.”
