Reforms need of hour, stop opposing Electricity (Amendment) Bill just for sake of opposition: BJP

The Bharatiya Janata Party Monday welcomed the decision of party-led government at Centre to refer the Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2022 to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on power.

Hailing the Bill as “a great milestone in bringing reforms in power sector”, the party said the decision to refer it to standing committee reflects the true democratic spirit with which the BJP was working and legislating laws.

In a statement, the Punjab BJP general secretary Dr Subhash Sharma hit out at the opposition parties, particularly the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party, for opposing the bill for the sake of opposition.
