Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva alleged the PPAC hike was due to “collusion”
between the Delhi government and power discoms.
“When the entire Kejriwal government, especially Power Minister Atishi, were raising a
hue and cry over the Centre appointing DERC chairman on June 22, the same day a
DERC member gave the go-ahead for the PPAC hike on the demand of private
companies,” he claimed.
A delegation of Delhi BJP will meet the newly appointed DERC chairman and ask him to
withdraw the hike. If needed, the BJP will approach the court for the withdrawal of the
hike, he said.
MPs Manoj Tiwari and Ramesh Bidhuri also assailed the AAP government over the
PPAC hike and threatened to take to the streets if it is not rolled back.
Delhi BJP MLAs led by Leader of Opposition Ramvir Singh Bidhuri will stage a
demonstration outside Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence on Tuesday against
the hike, the party said in a statement.
