BJP govts did not hike power tariff for farmers by a paisa in 25 yrs: Vijay Rupani

The successive governments of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Gujarat have not raised power tariffs for farmers in the past 25 years, underlined Chief Minister Vijay Rupani while inaugurating the infrastructure to provide electricity to 2.10 lakh farmers in 1,501 villages under the Kisan Suryodaya Yojana (KSY) on Thursday. He reiterated that all farmers of the state will start getting power during daytime by end of 2022.

“The BJP has been ruling Gujarat for 25 years but we have never increased price of electricity even by a paisa. We have always given farmers electricity at reasonable tariffs though prices of coal, steel and electricity have gone up,” Rupani said while addressing farmers at Kisan Sanman Divas,
