Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has slammed India Against
Corruption activist Arvind Kejriwal’s campaign against inflated
electricity bills in Delhi, calling it ‘irresponsible’. “In New Delhi,
record electricity was consumed, more than 5,500 MW. You and I have done
so. Naturally the prices will go up. In this situation, to make
irresponsible statements is wrong,” Dikshit said.
Meanwhile, with all appeals falling into the deaf ears of the Delhi
Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC), the Federation of RWAs has now
sent an online petition to the Prime Minister demanding a CAG audit
into the accounts of the discoms.
For the past over one year, various federations of RWAs have been
writing to DERC chief PD Sudhakar and the CM to conduct a CAG audit into
the accounts of these discoms. “The balance sheets of these discoms
reflect that they are making profits. The DERC annual report also shows
that these discoms are making profits. The audit conduced by the Power
Finance Corporation Limited also shows that there are no losses,” said
BS Vohra of the East Delhi RWA Joint Front.
Dikshit had also ordered a CAG inquiry into the accounts of these
discoms and had also told the Delhi HC that a CAG audit will be done.
