The leader of opposition (LoP) in State assembly Yashpal Arya has said that on one hand the State government has affected a hike in electricity tariff and on another the power cuts have increased. He said that in the assembly elections the BJP had promised to provide power and water 24 hours a day but it has fallen flat on its face. Arya said that unscheduled power cuts of seven to eight hours a day have hit the general public hard. “ People are not getting electricity but the government has handed over increased power bills. Recently the tariffs of BPL consumers, domestic, commercial and industrial categories have been hiked,’’ he said.
