Cong criticises hike in electricity charges
The spokesperson of Uttarakhand Congress Garima Dasauni has termed the new tariff plan released by the Uttarakhand Power Corporation as a major betrayal of the people of the State. In the plan a proposal to increase electricity tariffs by 13.25 per cent has been made. She said that it is unfortunate that the leaders of the BJP refer Uttarakhand as a power state in their speeches but the State has to depend on others to fulfil its need. The Congress leader said that the BJP government has made liquor cheap and electricity dearer in the State.
