Rathore said the government should have provided at least 100 units of free electricity per month as, according to him, even a bulb consumes more than 60 units per month.
The state Congress chief demanded the government to further withdraw rent on power metres as they were installed several decades ago. The surcharge should also be done away with, he said.
“Power tariff is much higher in Himachal Pradesh as compared to other states despite the fact that electricity is generated in the hill state,” Rathore said.
When asked if the Congress would promise 100 units of free electricity per month if it assumes power, Rathore said his party will consider including it in its manifesto for the next Assembly elections.
