INLD Criticizes Haryana Government Over Parallel Electricity Distribution Licence
The Haryana Government's decision to grant a parallel electricity distribution licence to a private company has sparked criticism from the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD). INLD leaders Abay Singh Chautala and Sampat Singh allege the move caused widespread power disruptions, economic losses, and inconvenience to residents, particularly farmers. They accuse both the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress of failing to oppose the licence effectively. The INLD emphasizes protecting public utilities and demands transparency and accountability from the government.
