BJP is an anti-people party, says CM Siddaramaiah before announcing 200 units of free electricity for tenants

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced 200 units of free electricity promised by the Congress ahead of the 2023 Assembly elections, which came as a huge relief to those staying in rented accommodation in state.

The CM clarified that it will not just be restricted to those staying in their own households but will also be extended to the tenants as well under the Gruha Jyoti Scheme. During his statement, Siddaramaiah said that “People should not get confused. We will provide 200 units of free electricity to all households, even if they are staying on rent.”

On Monday, Siddaramiah claimed that the BJP is instigating misuse and extravagant use of free electricity up to 200 units scheme. In his statement, he said that “We are offering free electricity to help the poor and middle-class people of the State who are in distress. We have allowed 10 per cent more free electricity consumption than the average consumption in a year. This has been accepted and welcomed by the people of the State.”

He further added “The BJP government functioned by taking bribes while they were in power. The BJP has no right to protest.” He continued, “BJP is an anti-people party,” before adding that when the party was in power they looted the state.
