When electricity bills can be waived off in Punjab and Delhi then why not in Haryana. In Punjab, electricity bill up to 600 units is zero, tubewell electricity is also being given free of cost and all outstanding bills have been waived off. In Haryana too, as soon as the AAP government comes, the electricity bills will come to zero. Chaudhary Nirmal Singh said that the government’s policy regarding electricity is clear, expensive electricity is being bought from Adani by closing its factories in the state. Today there is a demand of one lakh 63 thousand units and 7.5 lakh units are available with us, despite this, electricity bills of up to 50-50 thousand are being sent to the homes of the poor due to erratic policies of the management and privatization system in the state putting excessive financial burden on power consumers.
AAP leader Anurag Dhanda said that electricity is the biggest problem of Haryana. The people of the state are fed up with the high electricity bills. In the power minister’s own village, there are 6-6 hour cuts. The people of the state neither get full electricity nor do they get free electricity. The government is completely failing in the matter of electricity, he added that the BJP government works to make people fight.
