Blackout in half of Gujarat: 5 municipalities were liquidated, electricity went dark, people's loss increased because of whom?
Gujarat Nagarpalika : In last 15 days in Gujarat, 7 Municipalities have blown their bills.. After the power connection of 4 Municipalities was cut till last day, 3 more Municipalities were cut today.
Gujarat, which is considered to be the most prosperous and model state in the country, is blowing the lid one after another and the rosy picture of development is slowly fading away. Yes, in the last 16 days, 7 municipalities of Gujarat have not been able to pay their light bills. These municipalities could not even pay the light bill of the water works department, which is considered an important and primary facility to distribute water to the people of the city.
Meaning, even if the talk of self-sufficient Gujarat is being made, but the Municipal Corporations ruled by parties including BJP are buried under the mountain of debt and now there is no money to pay the light bill, so the representatives of the people who talk about development in the elections are not getting any place to hide their mouths. First of all, the Jasdan Municipality of the constituency of Cabinet Minister Kunvarji Bavaliya blew the debt. After that, the Salaya Nagar Palika of Cabinet Minister Moulu Bera’s constituency blew the candle. After that Kheda and Mehmedabad Municipal Corporation of Union Minister Devusinh Chauhan’s constituency blew the bill and today Dhanera Municipal Corporation of Banaskantha, Godhra Municipal Corporation of Panchmahal and Boriavi Municipal Corporation of Anand have cut the connection as they are not even able to pay the light bill. And the people have now put their trust in God.
As the municipality cut off the connection of street lights due to non-payment of bills by the power company, there is darkness in the towns. For the last 3 days, the people’s representatives are ruling that the people of Salaya have to fight even for drinking water. Political parties spending crores of rupees in elections are saying that the municipality has no source of income. If the municipality has no source of income, why do these leaders unite the sky and the bottom to contest and win the election… When the election comes, the coffers of the municipality have been emptied due to the faultless administration of the people’s representatives who promised to serve the people and progress of Gujarat and now the light bill. These municipalities do not even have money to pay. The authorities whom the public voted for are no longer able to provide drinking water and street lights to the public.
The electricity supply connection of one more municipality of Gujarat has been cut. The connection of street light of Boriavi municipality in Anand has been cut. There is a blackout in the town due to power cut. 60.15 lakh electricity bill of Boriavi municipality is still outstanding. MGVCL has cut the connection after the municipality did not pay the electricity bill. MGVCL has threatened to disconnect the sewerage and water works in the coming days.
