The state government had the other day hiked its power tariff substantially, with domestic consumers made to pay an increase of 11.4 % from the existing rate. The state decided to hike the power tariff making life difficult for the people following central government's decision to increase the price of oil as part of central budget.

Advocate A Jayashankar in his Facebook post had mocked both the union and central governments. The center decided to increase petrol price as a gratitude to the overwhelming majority in the Lok Sabha. The comrades are taking revenge by increasing power tariff for defeating them in the nineteen seats, he mentioned in the post.

The centre has increased the prices of petrol and diesel. Our government has revised electricity rates to preserve the values of the renaissance.

Both the centre and the state government cannot do anything again as the polls are over.

As a gratitude to the people for giving a majority of 303 seats, the BJP had increased the price of petroleum products. The comrades here are taking revenge by hiking power tariff for defeating them in the Lok Sabha polls.
