Chandigarh, March 30: Activists of the Bharatiya Janata Party today lodged a protest against the electricity contractor for allegedly misbehaving with the public over inflated bills. At a demonstration held at Transport Chowk, the activists demanded the cancellation of the contract and burnt an effigy of the contractor.
Maintaining that the contractor was charging exorbitant bills from the poor, the president of the BJP Labour Colony Cell, Mr Megh Raj Verma, said paying to a contractor was not acceptable to the residents.
Referring to a police case which has been registered against the contractor, Mr Verma added that the poor people of the colony were being unnecessarily harassed by the contractor. A former Member of Parliament, Mr Satpal Jain, also participated in the protest and lashed out at the Congress for implementing wrong policies which did not favour the poor.
