Lucknow, June 15: Uttar Pradesh unit of Congress today submitted a memorandum to Governor Vishnu Kant Shastri opposing state government's decision to increase the power tariff and described the move as "unjustified".
UPCC president Jagdambika Pal, who led the delegation, said "the increase is unjustified as power supply is irregular and insufficient".
No effort has been made by the Mayawati-led government to increase power generation in the state, while power tariff has increased by 20 paise per unit, pal said.
He said the Congress has urged the governor to direct the state government to rescind its decision to increase the tariff and save the consumers from extra burden.
