Azad cautions CM Kiran on power tariff hike

Union Health Minister and in-charge of AP affairs Gulam Nabi Azad on Monday had a conversation over phone with Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy over the escalating tensions on the recent proposals of electricity tariff hike in the state.

Azad reportedly advised Kiran that people especially the poor and the middle class should not be burdened with the hike. He also cautioned the CM that it may show an adverse impact on the Congress party. Azad reportedly told a Congress leader that Kiran Kumar Reddy would take a decision taking people’s inconvenience into consideration.
