While the State Secretary of the Communist Party of India K. Balakrishnan has stated that the increase in electricity tariff in Tamil Nadu should be withdrawn immediately, in an article published in Murasolai today, “The government is taking such steps with a heavy heart and carrying a lot of embarrassment in its heart when it is unavoidable that the corporation government does not want to impose this electricity tariff hike on the heads of the people. It is necessary to get involved. Balakrishnan will feel better.
Because even in the Marxist-ruled Kerala, the power tariff was hiked recently. Comrade Balakrishnan could not have known that. Opposition parties in Kerala have condemned the hike in electricity tariff in Kerala and unleashed severe criticism. That too K. Balakrishnan would know.
Any welfare government be it the DMK government or the Marxist-led government, due to some circumstances, a situation arises where such tariff hikes are announced. When such a difficult situation arises, there is no room for two different opinions that special attention should be paid to ensure that the poor people are not affected by these tariff hikes.
Comrade Balakrishnan is not unaware that Sindh is over between the DMK and its allied parties and a crowd is waiting for an opportunity to break this super-powerful alliance. What will happen if she gets into the mouths of that deceitful crowd who enjoy chewing and digesting the bare mouth? Therefore, we will act cautiously so that our statements do not become a mouthful to the enemies,” the article has appeared in Murasoli.
