The BJP on Thursday severely criticised the ongoing hearing on proposals for hiking power tariffs for households and distribution companies (discoms)’ initiatives for disconnecting electricity to houses on failure of payment of dues.
“The State Government has adopted a policy of nurturing power distribution and generating companies at the cost of poor people,” alleged party State spokesperson Golak Mohapatra at a Press meet here.
Mohapatra said people have been worried over the proposals of power generating and distribution companies to hike an average of 50 paise for unit of power. He demanded that the State Government refrain from making any hike in power tariff.
