BJP has said that the current power bill, which charged at the rate
of Rs. 2.90 per unit, are being charged at the rate of Rs. 4.80 and Rs.
6.40 per unit. This has happened because the DERC has fixed slab for
power consumption and the power subsidy being given by Delhi Government
at the rate of rupee one per unit. Due to this the amount being charged
from the people have doubled. Their domestic budget has disturbed due to
it.
Not BJP has decided to stage a strong demonstration with RWAs at the
offices of all the three power companies of Delhi.This announcement was
made by the BJP Delhi Pradesh President Vijender Gupta. He told that the
If a bill being served to the common man of 600 units then Rs. 150 also
recovered as fixed charges. In addition about 180 rupees is being
recovered as electricity duty. Fuel surcharge is also added.
This way the power companies are recovering about 500 rupees extra
which is injustice to the power consumers. Shri Gupta has demanded Delhi
Government and DERC that they should abolish slab system for the common
power bills and Delhi Government should be restore one rupee subsidy as
earlier so that the people may not get the power shock.
He further told that 80% people in Delhi there family income of Rs.
10,000 per month. If they will spent Rs 4000 on power consumption then
how will main his family.
