The Opposition parties have mounted a blistering attack on Uttar Pradesh’s Yogi Adityanath Government over the 12 to 15 per cent increase in power rates.
Samajwadi Party (SP) President Akhilesh Yadav tweeted: “On one hand, the reduction in income and demand is pushing down the production capacity of the country, while on the other, power tariff has been raised in the State.”
Yadav said the people, including businessmen, were fed up of the Government. “The possibilities of investment in UP are lean as banks are not ready to give out loans. The power hike will further push away investors,” he said.
BSP President Mayawati also opposed the move saying that it would cause more trouble to “hard working people”
