Maharashtra: BJP’s ‘halla bol’ on govt over power bills in Nagpur
The BJP launched ‘halla bol’ agitation against Maha Vikas Aghadi government on Friday in Nagpur for its failure to grant concession in power bills and its recent statements to snap electric supply of farmers, who defaulted on the dues. The saffron party legislators and activists staged protests across the city. Quoting energy minister Nitin Raut, the BJP leaders said he had assured to waive of charges till 100 units for consumers per month in wake of Covid-19 pandemic. However, the cabinet led by chief minister Uddhav Thackeray had thrown his proposal in the dustbin and disappointed all the citizens who were hoping for some solace from the government.
