Beginning their “Bijli Andolan” today, Aam Aadmi Party leaders today held a programme at their party office galvanising its workers and supporters to campaign against the government for doing “nothing” to check increasing power tariff.
Three MLAs including — Meet Hayer from Barnala, Budh Ram from Budhlada and Jai Kishan Rodi from Garhshankar — said the Congress had come to power assuring people that they would review the agreements with private players in electricity production and would get these scrapped. But nothing was being done. “The state has to pay up Rs 2,800 crore to these companies annually,” they added.
