Delhi Power Bills to be Reduced
Wonder what our AAP friends have to say to this.

There was lots of criticism when AAP announced the subsidy as a temporary relief, pending CAG audit of discoms. Any way. it is good if the general public is getting any relief Subsidies, however, are not good for Indian Economy. Consumers must pay for the services. It is to be ensured that the consumers are being billed correctly and that the frivolous expenses are not loaded in determining tariffs. Discoms should be eligible for a reasonable profit and not rip in to the consumer's pocket. more
