You haven’t spoken when defaulters fled, speak at least on Rafale deal, Siddaramaiah taunts Modi
Bengaluru, October 13: “Mr. Narendra Modi, you have not served the people as Pradhan Sevak. When the defaulters fled the country right in front of your eyes, being the Chowkidar,you have not spoken a word. At least speak now on Rafale deal”. This is how former chief minister Siddaramaiah taunted Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Twitter.
If you have shown the loyalty, being shown to Ambani in the Rafale deal, to the country, the value of the Indian currency would not have crossed Rs 74 before the Dollar. This is the first time in the history of the country that a Prime Minister had toured foreign countries to strike a deal for a capitalist, he tweeted.
When the Prime Minister himself became a middleman for a private company, what about the future of the public sector units, he questioned and took Narendra Modi into task in strong words.
ಮಾನ್ಯ @narendramodi ಅವರೇ, ಪ್ರಧಾನ ಸೇವಕರಾಗಿ ಜನ ಸೇವೆಯನ್ನು ಮಾಡಲಿಲ್ಲ, ಚೌಕಿದಾರರಾಗಿ ಕಣ್ಣ ಮುಂದೆಯೇ ಸಾಲಗಾರರು ಓಡಿ ಹೋದರೂ ಮಾತನಾಡಲಿಲ್ಲ, #RafaleDeal ಬಗ್ಗೆಯಾದರೂ ಮಾತನಾಡಿ.#RafaleDeal ನಲ್ಲಿ ತಾವು ಅಂಬಾನಿಯವರಿಗೆ ತೋರುತ್ತಿರುವ ನಿಷ್ಠೆಯನ್ನು ದೇಶದ ಬಗೆಗೆ ತೋರಿದ್ದರೆ ಡಾಲರ್ ಮೌಲ್ಯ ಇಂದು ರೂ.74ರ ಗಡಿ ದಾಟುತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ.

Power tariffs under BESCOM to rise from May 1
Bengaluru (PTI): Power bills for consumers under the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (BESCOM) will go up from May 1, following an order issued by the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) on Friday.
The hike comes after KERC allowed the BESCOM to recover a revenue deficit of Rs 2,068 crore incurred in 2024-25, from the consumers.
As a result, for every unit of electricity consumed in 2024-25, the customers will be charged an additional 56 paise, it said.
"BESCOM shall calculate, for each of the active consumers of FY2024-25 the amount to be recovered based on their actual energy consumption during FY2024-25. Such amount shall be recovered during FY 2026-27 in equal monthly instalments, to be called as 'FY25 True up Charges', commencing from the first meter reading date falling on or after 1 May 2026 and concluding with the reading date ending on 30 April 2027," the order said.
"It is further ordered that BESCOM shall maintain a separate head of account, allocated for the purpose, to record the adjustment of the said amount to ensure full recovery of the deficit," it added.
Similarly Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation Limited (CESC) has also recorded a revenue deficit of Rs 121.71 crore and can collect an additional 15 paisa per unit for consumption in 2024-25, official sources said.
