AAP Accuses BJP of Potential Power Tariff Hike in Delhi

AAP has accused BJP of plans to increase power tariffs in Delhi through the Lt Governor. Atishi claimed the BJP-implemented Uttar Pradesh electricity model is costliest. She urged voters to choose Arvind Kejriwal for uninterrupted, affordable electricity. Delhi BJP refuted the claims, promising to probe alleged financial misdeeds and benefit the middle class.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will attempt to raise power tariffs in Delhi through the Lt Governor, urging citizens to vote for Arvind Kejriwal to prevent such an outcome.

At a press conference, Atishi, the chief minister-designate, criticized the BJP-led government in Uttar Pradesh for having the costliest and most unreliable electricity supply. She argued that only Kejriwal could provide continuous, affordable power to Delhi residents.

Responding, Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva said that upon coming to power, they will investigate the supposed collusion between the Kejriwal government and private power distributors, ensuring any undue charges are refunded.
