The opposition parties reacted bitterly to the “steep rise” announced in the power tariff on Wednesday, and demanded that the State government roll the tariff back immediately to give relief to the commoners.
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu, addressing the party workers, criticised Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for choosing to impose a “huge unbearable burden” on the people by effecting a steep rise in the power tariffs once again.
He appealed to all sections of society to condemn the “unilateral increase in power tariffs.”
