“LG wants to capture Commission that fixes electricity rates in Delhi….” Alleges Saurabh Bharadwaj
Speaking on Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) issue, Delhi Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj called it unfortunate that people of Delhi have been mocked. He also alleged that Delhi Lieutenant Governor, V.K. Saxena wants to capture the Commission that fixes electricity rates in Delhi. While speaking to ANI, Saurabh Bharadwaj said, “How unfortunate it is that 2.25 crore people of Delhi are being mocked. Why is the elected Govt in Delhi have to go to the apex court again & again? Centre & LG wants to capture the Commission that fixes electricity rates in Delhi - DERC - so that the 200 units of free electricity, that the poor get, can be stopped...The manner in which Supreme Court is overruling LG's decision shows the people of Delhi that LG is working illegally and unconstitutionally against Delhi. He should not do this and fear God.”Earlier, Supreme Court issues notice to the Centre and Lieutenant Governor on a petition of Delhi government challenging June 22 notification of appointment of DERC chairman.
