Power scenario in state bleak, says BJP

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday alleged that the state is reeling under frequent power cut and that they people are taken for ride by the Congress government in the name of slashing the power tariff.

The party’s state Spokesperson and former MLA Shrichand Sundarani in statement accused the ruling Congress of cheating the farmers of the state by not providing round-the-clock power to them.

“Power cut is a common problem now-a-days not only in villages but also in places barely a few kilometers away from the capital city,” he said.

The farmers are facing power cut for three to four hours every day and this clearly proves that the Congress has gone back on their promise of slashing the power tariff, he said.
