Mysore/Mysuru: Chief Minister Siddharamaiah has clarified that the decision to hike the power tariff was taken by the previous BJP Government and the new rates have come into force now, after the elections. “But the BJP is resorting to cheap politics by alleging that the Congress Government had increased the power tariff soon after coming to power,” claimed Siddharamaiah.
Clarifying about power tariff hike to the media at Suttur Helipad, on Saturday, the CM said: “The decision to raise power tariff was taken sometime during March-April, 2023. It was not implemented as it was election time and the Poll Code of Conduct was in force. We came to power only about three weeks ago. It was the BJP Government which is responsible for increase in power tariff,” added the CM.
