The leader of the Opposition in Rajasthan Assembly Rajendra Rathore announced that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would be holding a state-wide protest in Rajasthan on Thursday against the constant power cuts that are spanning five to nine hours daily, according to a report by the Times of India.
According to the report, Rathore said, “All our morchas will hold a symbolic dharna by hoisting black flags. BJP’s Yuva Morcha, Kisan Morcha, and Mahila Morcha will take out lantern torch marches on power cuts.”
The statement was made in a video on Wednesday, where Rathore slammed the CM Ashok Gehlot-led government of Rajasthan for making false claims on the quantity of power being produced and promises of reducing electricity costs.
