The YSRCP government’s inefficiency is evident from the “increase in power tariff at regular intervals,” Telugu Desam Party (TDP) State president K. Atchannaidu has observed.
In a statement on Thursday, Mr. Atchannaidu said the latest increase in power tariff would impose a burden of ₹4,400 crore annually on the people. This was in addition to the ₹11,600 crore burden already imposed by the government by increasing the tariff earlier.
As per the policy adopted during the TDP term, a power consumer remained under a particular category for the whole year depending on the average consumption during the previous year, he said. Even if the consumer used more power in a particular month, there was no change in the category, he added.
