Chief Minister Pramod Sawant while speaking to media persons on Wednesday has said that people will have to bear with the 'small hike' in power tariff if they want good infrastructure and uninterrupted power supply in the state as his government has already spent almost Rs 2,000 crore on power infrastructure during his tenure. Well, if what Sawant has said is true with regards to the Rs 2,000 crore spending then how come people are still suffering from frequent power cuts and fluctuations (especially during peak hours) in Goa? Secondly, Sawant has now claimed that the power tariff hike will not affect the common domestic consumer much as their power bills will be increased by hardly Rs 8 to 10. Well, why his government did not increase the power tariff before the Lok Sabha elections? I think that the people who will not get affected with the latest power tariff hike are politicians, people working in government sector/offices/departments but the rest working in the private sector will definitely get affected.
