Hyderabad: The Congress on Tuesday demanded that the TRS government ensure that the tariff hike proposals submitted by the power distribution companies were withdrawn immediately as people were already suffering due to the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on their jobs and income.
Telangana Congress working president and MLA T Jagga Reddy threatened that Congress will launch agitations in a big way if the power tariff hike proposals were not taken back.
“Poor and middle class sections of society will not be able to take the proposed 50 paise per unit hike. How far is it justified to impose nearly Rs 7,000 crore additional burden on the people of Telangana in the form of power tariff hike,” Jagga Reddy asked.
