Power Minister R K Singh has written to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, raising doubts over her intentions in opposing the Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2021 and asked why she wants to protect private monopoly in electricity distribution, especially in Kolkata. Last month, Ms Banerjee reportedly wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, protesting the government's plan to introduce the Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2021 in Parliament in the Monsoon session despite reservations raised by the states. She had called the new amendments "anti-people". The bill was listed for introduction in the recent Monsoon session, but was not introduced in Parliament.More Related News
