Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav has slammed Uttar Pradesh government’s proposal for a 23 per cent hike in power tariff.
“This is BJP’s shocker to people who are already reeling under the price rise. The move will only add to people’s woes,” he said in a release.
The SP chief said that with the power hike, domestic users will bear the maximum brunt with an additional 23 per cent increase in power bills. This hike seems to be the BJP’s attempt to add to the price rise, he added.
