DMK president M.K. Stalin voiced strong public outrage regarding the exorbitant electricity bills issued to domestic consumers across Tamil Nadu during coronavirus lockdown restrictions, characterizing the steep tariff assessments as an unbearable financial shock. Stalin highlighted that millions of working-class families, self-employed artisans, and small business owners had suffered total income disruption for months, only to be confronted with inflated power bills that multiplied their regular bi-monthly charges कई times over.

Stalin pointed out that the power distribution utility flawed assessment methodology bundled cumulative consumption into higher tariff brackets instead of providing equitable slab-wise concessions. Rather than providing administrative relief or adjusting billing discrepancies empathetically, the AIADMK administration defended the arbitrary tariffs, compounding widespread public distress. Stalin asserted that public utilities in a welfare state must function with benevolence during humanitarian crises, rather than extracting punitive charges from impoverished households.

Stalin called upon the state government to immediately review electricity calculations, waive punitive late fees, and offer subsidized rates for domestic consumers. He reaffirmed that the DMK will persist in championing the rights of struggling citizens against oppressive utility burdens until meaningful financial concessions are enacted.
