Mumbai, Jul 15 (UNI) The Aam Aadmi Party in Maharashtra on Wednesday launched a state-wide campaign, called 'Hisaab Do', against alleged over-charging in the electric bills by the various electric suppliers' companies.
In a statement issued here, the party said, “As part of the campaign, 'hisaabdo.in', a website which serves to automate complaint filing by anguished consumers with the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) and the state government, against extremely high bills across the state, was launched. The website also has a built-in 'Bill Calculator' to enable the consumers to compare their bills, with the tariffs under the Delhi government."
While launching the campaign, Durgesh Pathak, AAP's national executive member, said, "The Delhi government has revolutionized governance in India, through the Delhi Model of Governance. Delhi has the cheapest power tariff in the country and has recognized power as basic dignity for every citizen and has thus ensured consumption of 200 units of electricity, to be absolutely free. If this can happen in Delhi, then why not in Maharashtra?"
