Protest of steep hike in power tariff

Patna, June 3:
Under the auspices of Patna District Committee of SUCI (Communist) a protest march was taken out from Radio Station and an effigy of Mr. Nitish Kumar, CM, Bihar was burnt at Patna Junction roundabout against the steep hike in power tariff. The protesters were shouting slogans like ‘Roll back the increased power tariff’, ‘Scrap anti people Power policy-2003 ’and ‘Build up movement against steep hike in power tariff’.
Addressing the people gathered at Patna Junction roundabout after burning the effigy the speakers condemned the steep hike in power tariff and demanded immediate rollback the increased tariff hike. They said the prices of essential commodities and food items are skyrocketing and due to this the common people of the state are most effected. In such a pitiable condition the JDU-BJP combine government running in the name of good governance has increased power tariff exorbitantly as maximum of 20 per cent. This hike in tariff would worsen the pitiable condition of the people of Bihar. The speakers demanded scraping the Power policy-2003 holding it responsible for tariff hike, privatization of electricity and retrenchment in the power sector. Terming as anti people and anti poor the speakers said the JDU-BJP combine government like the previous one making the life of the people miserable sub serving the ruling capitalist class.
The meeting was addressed by Shival Prasad and Manikant Pathak both Senior State Committee Members, SUCI (C), Rajendra Roy, Suryakar Jitendra and Anil Kumar, all District Committee Members, SUCI (C).
