In letter to PM, Mamata Banerjee opposes draft Electricity Amendment Bill
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has opposed the Centre’s draft Electricity Amendment Bill, 2020.
Banerjee said in the letter on Friday that the Bill was against the interests of federalism. According to sources in the state secretariat, the Chief Minister talked with top state government officials and the electricity department before sending it to Modi.
“She mentioned in the letter that this proposed Act is anti-people as well as anti-farmer and anti-unorganised sectors. This new tariff system will also give trouble to semi-urban and village peoples,” said a senior official.
