The Congress government which became synonymous with power cuts, is now gearing up for hike power tariff, imposing additional burden on people of Telangana, said BRS working president KT Rama Rao. He stated that the government which is unable to guarantee uninterrupted power supply, is getting ready to give shocks to consumers in the form of increased power charges.
Taking to X, Rama Rao pointed out that within less than a year of taking office, the Congress administration is ready to increase power tariffs, imposing further strain on the public. He mocked their promise of free electricity, stating that the much-touted “Gruha Jyothi” scheme remains out of reach for many eligible citizens, and zero electricity bills are nowhere in sight.
He also questioned the handling of the State’s finances, stating that despite borrowing Rs 77,000 crore in just nine months, the public is left with nothing but power cuts and additional hardships under the inefficient governance.
