Political parties start blame games on power tariff hike

 

The Congress and YSR Congress parties claim that power tariff was not increased during late YS Rajashekar Reddy’s five years regime, but Chandrababu Naidu increases the tariff within nine of assuming power in the state. However, PCC President Raghuveera Reddy admits that power tariff was increased during Kiran Kumar Reddy’s regime.

Botsa Satyanarayana said, “Chandrababu Naidu has levied Rs.10, 000 additional burden on the people with this power tariff hike. There is surplus power and Center is also supplying additional power. Yet, his government has increased the power tariff. It is not fair to put additional burden on the people in the prevailing situation.”
