TMC opposes Centre’s move to bring Electricity Bill in Parliament

Trinamool Congress chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to refrain from placing the Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2020 in Parliament and called the Bill as “anti-people”.

Goutam Deb, Chairman of Board of Administrators, Siliguri Municipal Corporation, said that chief minister Mamata Banerjee is rightly opposing the Centre’s move as it will hike electricity bills and will prove to be disastrous for the people.

“The bill will create price hikes in the electricity and power sector and it will be disastrous. So this bill should be withdrawn immediately,” he said while attending a cultural programme on the occasion of Rabindranath Tagore’s 80th death anniversary on Saturday.
