In a fierce attack on the , Tikait said, “A farmer with a meagre income cannot bear the burden of hefty power bills. Earlier, a power bill would not be more than Rs 2,000 per month and now, has increased to Rs 10,000. There is no logic. How long will the government test the patience of farmers? They are as such destroying the future of our youth by introducing Agnipath yojana.”

Arvind Bangari, MD of PVVNL, said, “We are only executing the orders of the UP Electricity Regulatory Commission. Meters are being installed only to gauge the load demand and prevent damage to transformers due to overloading. Besides, the tariff charged will be applicable from February this year at the rate of Rs 85 per horsepower, which is in accordance with the government’s promise of 50% reduction. So, farmers need not worry on the tariff front.” He also cautioned that ripping of meters is a and can attract action.
