Power companies must respond to all complaints, says Kalyan BJP MLA

Bharatiya Janata Party MLA from Kalyan, Ganpat Gaikwad, who also owns a cable service, claimed that the Maharashtra State Electricity Corporation Limited (MSEDCL) has reduced his electricity bill by ₹2.88 lakh. He has asked the power company to give the same treatment to the common consumers who are also receiving exorbitant bills.

In a statement issued by Gaikwad on the social media platform, he said, “During the lockdown, many consumers have received hefty bills. We had even protested against this. The bills of my cable service for August, which was ₹5.02 lakhs was reduced to ₹2.13 lakhs after we complained and MSEDCL officials visited my office. Many others are facing such issues,” said Gaikwad.

He expressed that the MSEDCL should not differentiate between an MLA and the common consumers. Their complaints and demands should be equally addressed.
