Electricity (Amendment) Bill provisions not in country’s interest: Raut
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday claimed the Centre’s Electricity (Amendment) Bill was not in the interest of the country, and states were not consulted on its provisions.
The Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2021 seeks to enable power consumers to choose from multiple service providers as in the case with telecom services.
According to the Lok Sabha bulletin issued on July 12, 2021, the government has listed it as one of the 17 new bills it plans to introduce in the ongoing Parliament session.
Talking to reporters here, Raut claimed that state electricity companies will be adversely impacted if the bill is passed.
