In a fervent display of dissent, Congress activists took to the streets on Friday to protest against the Bihar government's new Time of Day (ToD) power tariff scheme and the alleged shortage of LPG across the state.
The demonstrators, gathering at Income Tax Golambar, voiced their discontent by burning an effigy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Bihar Electricity Regulatory Commission's recent approval of differential pricing based on consumption hours has sparked controversy, with critics arguing it imposes undue financial strain on consumers while failing to address vital issues like the LPG deficit.
