கூடுதல் மின்கட்டணம் வசூலிக்கும் அநியாய உத்தரவை அதிமுக அரசு உயர்நீதிமன்றத்தில் நியாயப்படுத்தி இருப்பது பொறுப்பற்ற பொல்லாச் செயல். பேரிடரைக் காரணம்...

DMK president M.K. Stalin strongly condemned the AIADMK administration for defending its arbitrary and inflated electricity tariff calculations before the Madras High Court, characterizing the government legal stance as irresponsible and hostile toward ordinary citizens. Stalin pointed out the glaring moral hypocrisy of the state government, which routinely suspended statutory procurement guidelines and tender rules under the pretext of disaster emergency, while simultaneously refusing to grant modest electricity tariff concessions to distressed households facing economic ruin.

Stalin emphasized that millions of consumers received shock electricity bills calculated without physical meter inspections, penalizing families whose power consumption was pushed into higher slab rates due to lockdown confinement. He remarked that providing relief to citizens who have lost their daily incomes requires basic administrative empathy and compassion, qualities entirely absent in Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami governance. Instead of alleviating public distress, the government chose to deploy state legal machinery to justify punitive power charges.

Stalin reiterated the DMK demand for a comprehensive recalculation of domestic electricity bills based on actual bi-monthly averages and the waiver of penalty surcharges. He affirmed that the opposition will continue legal and democratic resistance against excessive utility extractions across Tamil Nadu.
