AMRAVATI: Activists of Yuva Swabhiman Party of MLA Ravi Rana and MP Navneet Rana on Saturday organized ‘Aakrosh march’ to the residence of district guardian minister Yashomati Thakur to demand 50% waiver in electricity bills during the lockdown period.
Hundreds of activists took part in the rally which started from the statue of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar at Irwin Square.
The activists were stopped near the gate of Thakur's residence, where they shouted slogans and burned copies of the bills.
They alleged that MSEDCL charged excessive electricity bills for the lockdown period and the common people are unable to pay. They urged the guardian minister to take up their demand with the chief minister, deputy CM and state energy minister, and raise it in the cabinet meeting.
