Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday termed the proposed amendments to the Electricity Act as "dangerous" and urged the Centre not to go ahead with it in haste, claiming that it will only benefit a few power distribution companies.
The Centre introduced the Bill in Lok Sabha on Monday for its consideration and passage. Taking to Twitter, he said, "The Electricity Amendment Bill is being brought in Lok Sabha today.
This law is very dangerous. This will make the electricity problem more serious, instead addressing it. People's suffering will increase. Only a few companies will benefit. I appeal to the Centre to not bring this (bill) in haste."
