Siddarapura Gram panchayat representative Gopi went to Jaalikatte village in the taluk to collect electricity fare from the villagers on Monday. A group of villagers told him that they would not pay it as Congress had promised free power for people if the party was voted to power.
Now it has come to power in the state.But the representative asked them to pay the bill till the government issues an order in this regard.
