Chennai: DMDK chief and the Leader of the Opposition in Tamil Nadu Assembly Vijayakanth today criticised Chief Minister Jayalalithaa for distancing her government from the power tariff hike proposed by the state electricity regulatory commission and demanded steps to withdraw it. “The proposal to increase electricity tariff for users of all categories like domestic, educational institutions, industries and commercial should be cancelled,” he said. “Jayalalithaa is trying to wriggle out by claiming that it was the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission which is increasing the tariff,” Vijaykanth, whose party is a partner of NDA, said in a statement here. Whenever the Centre hiked fuel prices, Jayalalithaa had been demanding its rollback claiming that it would affect the people, he pointed out and wanted to know if the “same general public” will not be affected if power tariff was hiked.
