Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) Mayawati on Monday slammed Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh Government after the State’s Power Corporation proposed a hike in electricity tariffs for domestic consumption.
‘Government’s preparedness to give a sharp blow to the oppressed people of UP and also the BPL families by drastically increasing electricity rates is condemnable. After the Lok Sabha elections, will the BJP Government, in the same way, hurt the 20 crore people of UP? This increase will not turn the fortune into a misfortune plan?’, Mayawati said in a tweet slamming UP Government.
यूपी की त्रस्त जनता व बीपीएल परिवारों पर भी बिजली की दरों में भारी वृद्धि करके उन्हें तेज झटका देने की सरकारी तैयारी घोर निन्दनीय। लोकसभा चुनाव के बाद क्या बीजेपी सरकार इसी रूप में यूपी की 20 करोड़ जनता को आघात पहुँचाएगी? यह वृद्धि सौभाग्य को दुर्भाग्य योजना में नहीं बदल देगी?
