NEW DELHI: Vijay Goel, president of Delhi BJP, said on Saturday that his party was opposed to the move to hike the power tariff in the city again. The party will soon meet the chairman of Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC), he said.
Discoms BSES Yamuna, BSES Rajdhani and Tata Power have filed petitions before DERC seeking a tariff hike of 2%-4% towards Power Purchase Adjustment Cost to be applicable from the next quarter.
Goel said BJP would oppose any such move. "We have been in favour of reducing the power tariff by 30%. The same we promised in our manifesto. The BJP believes it is time to go for a CAG audit of the accounts of discoms before allowing them to move a proposal for a hike."
