Opposition leaders against free power units may pay for it: Jai Ram

Training guns at those opposing the decision to provide 125 units of electricity free of cost each month, chief minister Jai Ram Thakur invited detractors to pay their power bills in full.

“My government is providing 50% concession on fare in state-owned buses to the women and free power up to 125 units per month domestic electricity consumers. The government is also providing free water in the rural areas,” he said, while presiding over the closing ceremony of Jhanjeli Tourist Festival in Seraj.

“It is surprising that these decisions have not gone down well with the Congress. The leaders opposed to it should voluntarily give up the free power being provided to consumers, and may also pay the bills of other consumers, he added.
