Panaji: Congress and AAP were quick enough to mock Chief Minister’s announcement of power rebate to the people, amidst hike in the electricity bills.
The opposition has calculated that the waiver amounts to mere Rs 60 per month for the consumer who have been heavily billed during the pandemic period.
Goa Pradesh Congress Committee President Girish Chodankar tweeted “My electricity bill is Rs 13,203:62. Rebate announced by CM on fixed charges is 50 %. Fixed charges on my bill is Rs 162 (for 81 days). So fixed charges in April and May is Rs 122. I will get 50% of Rs 122 which works out to be Rs 61. After Chief Minister’s rebate of Rs 61, instead of Rs 13,203:62 I will have to pay Rs 13,142:62”
AAP spokesman Rahul Mhambre tweeted “Look how behevolent is our @goacm Given an enormous relief of Rs 60 on exorbitant electricity bills to domestic consumer. He can now claim to have liberty to splurge on assembly renovation or gov house or even fancy car now that enormous relief of Rs 60 is given.”
