If using fans is expensive, then sit under a tree, advises Assam Speaker
The Hindu
Assam Congress president, Bhupen Kumar Borah slammed the Speaker for trying to take Assam back to the Stone Age.
Assam Assembly Speaker Biswajit Daimary has invited flak from the Opposition Congress for advising people to sit under a tree if they cannot afford to use fans.
His advice followed the criticism against the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government for frequently increasing power tariffs in the State.
“Do not switch on the fans if you cannot afford to. Sit under a tree instead,” Mr. Daimary said.
He justified his statement by saying that the government buys electricity from companies and is compelled to increase the tariff when the power suppliers inflate the price.
Mr. Daimary asked people not to make this an issue and utilise power judiciously to keep their bills to a minimum.
Assam Congress president, Bhupen Kumar Borah slammed the Speaker for trying to take Assam back to the Stone Age.
“Our forefathers sat under a tree to enjoy the breeze but the Congress rule ushered in the era of living under lights and fans for relief from the summer heat. Will the BJP now make us go back to the Stone Age?” he asked.
