‘supporting-bjp-is-useless’:party-worker-shoots-off-angry-note-after-getting-₹31,000-electricity-bill

A social media post by a BJP worker in Gwalior is going viral. In this post, the worker has expressed displeasure with the electricity distribution company and Energy Minister Pradhuman Singh Tomar after he received an electricity bill of ₹31,000. The BJP worker, Pradeep Srivastava, is a resident of Energy Minister Tomar’s Assembly constituency. He has lodged a complaint, but no solution has been found yet. What did Pradeep write Energy Minister, I am a resident of your constituency 155. This is the situation then. A family home bill, whose monthly bill is 31,000. Common people will not be able to run small factories in your area. I am a BJP worker, but having a minister like you is not good for BJP. If this bill of mine is not corrected, then staying with BJP is useless. I complained online 6 days ago, nothing has happened yet. Your goons, the electricity department employees, will come to cut the power in a day or two. Now you see what can happen. Such a high bill for a normal house Srivastava raised the question in his post that if the electricity bill for a normal family house can be so high, how will small industries and factory operators in the area be able to run their businesses? He also wrote that such a situation could damage the BJP’s image, and if his problem is not resolved, there will be no justification for him to remain associated with the party. Complaint lodged 6 days ago The BJP worker claimed that he had lodged an online complaint regarding the electricity bill about six days ago, but no action has been taken yet. He alleges that instead of resolving the complaint, electricity department employees may soon arrive to disconnect the connection. However, no official reaction has yet come from Energy Minister Tomar or the electricity distribution company in this matter. Consumers are now waiting to see whether any error is found in the concerned bill and what steps the department takes in this matter.
