Jaipur: State Assembly on Monday witnessed uproar as the Opposition MLAs raised issue of power cuts, shortage and fuel surcharge levied on electricity bills. While Congress MLAs raised slogans, Minister of State for Power Heeralal Nagar said that power cuts are happening due to the mismanagement of the previous Congress government. Congress MLAs Indra Meena, Manish Yadav and Amit Chachan raised this issue.

Expressing dissatisfaction over minister’s reply during the Q-Hour, LoP Tikaram Jully said that the answer given to the House is an attempt to mislead, the minister is saying that power plants are being run at a relatively higher capacity, so why is there no electricity? After this, Cong MLAs started raising slogans. In Zero Hour, Amit Chachan raised issue of ‘fuel surcharge’ levied on electricity bills and power cuts.

Congress MLA Manish Yadav also raised the issue of undeclared power cuts. Following the uproar, speaker Vasudev Devnani gave a ruling for a separate discussion.
