The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress on Thursday criticised the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government’s announcement on waiving electricity charges for households consuming less than 200 units per month.
While the BJP called the move a “political stunt”, the Congress said the scheme is “inadequate”. The latter alleged the AAP failed to take action when power distribution companies overcharged residents of Delhi in the past one year.
Assembly elections in Delhi are scheduled early next year.
