The opposition Congress and Aam Aadmi Party in Goa have mocked the rebate announced by the state government for power consumers following complaints of inflated bills.
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Tuesday announced a relief to power consumers in the form of a rebate worth Rs 18.3 crore.
He said 50 per cent of the fixed charges on electricity bills are waived for months of April and May for all low-tension domestic, commercial and other categories.
Reacting to it, state Congress president Girish Chodankar in a tweet said, “My electricity bill is Rs 13,203:62. Rebate announced by CM on fixed charges is 50%. Fixed charges on my bill is Rs 162 (for 81 days). So fixed charges in April and May is Rs 122. I will get 50% of Rs 122 which works out to be Rs 61.”
