POWER TARIFF GOING HIGHER AND HIGHER TO INCREASE THE WOES OF COMMON MAN (20th OCT 2009, 1335 Hrs)

POWER TARIFF GOING HIGHER AND HIGHER TO INCREASE THE WOES OF COMMON MAN (20th OCT 2009, 1335 Hrs)

I was quite shocked when I got this month’s electricity bill. A whooping jump of Rs. 190/-! I thought there must have been some miscalculations or else mistake but on closer look I realised from Rs 7/- per unit, the tariff has increased to Rs 10/- without any information or intimation by the electricity board or in that matter State Government. The government is simply robbing and sucking blood of every common man to fill in their coffers. Wonder, when someone from the political parties will really care for the common man.

All the government is worried about is the plush Malls, owned by rich industrialists, who are given electricity at a subsidies rate at the expense of a common man’s pocket. The electronic channels and the daily print will highlight the plight of the rich industrialists but not the common man. Dal has been snatched from common man’s plate, rice and atta is costly but then can one live without them, sugar, vegetables, edible oil, onions, potatoes, poisonous sweets, adulterated milk and not to forget expensive medical treatment… well and now electricity???

While the rich and political leaders are becoming rich and richer day by day, the woes of common man seem to increase proportionately to their crores. I wonder, the time is not far, when the common man will have to even buy polluted air from the rich industrialists. The Congress led UPA government has been a total failure because they only talk about the economic growth. I wonder when they will bring solace by curbing the price of all the essential daily life’s need for the common man!

Indian democracy is for the Ambanis only not for 'aam aadmi'. So far Reliance energy enjoying private monopoly which needs to be curbed by inviting more players in this field. If their mindless act is not stopped we need to call Chinese companies to supply and even invade us. Atleast we get cheaper products and electricity. Is the government listening.

I totally agree with you. Hope the Chinese invasion is faster than the Manmohan Singh government can think of...
