Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on October 30 alleged that people of Uttar Pradesh are reeling under the “loot” of electricity bills in the BJP-ruled State and said this will be ended when her party comes to power.

The Congress general secretary also tagged a media report, which claimed that the electricity department has given an electricity bill notice of over 19 crore to a labourer.

“The common people of the State are reeling due to the electricity bills and smart meters loot under the BJP rule,” she said in a tweet in Hindi.

“The electricity department gave an electricity bill notice of ₹19 crore 19 lakh to a family working hard to earn a living,” she added.

This “loot” of electricity bills will be ended when the Congress forms the government in the State, Ms. Gandhi said.
