The BJP leader Vijay Goel on Saturday said that the party is opposed to the ongoing move to hike the power tariff. Goel announced that the BJP leaders would soon meet the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) chairman in this regard and will oppose any such move tooth and nail. He also informed that the BJP is all geared up for Run for Unity to be held on December 15 on the death anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
“As a part of our positive agenda for development and good governance in Delhi, we have been in favour of reducing the power tariff by 30 per cent. This we promised in our manifesto also. The BJP strongly believes that it is time to go for a CAG audit of the accounts of discoms before allowing them even to move a proposal for any tariff hike,” said the leader.
