Isn't it a Good Move for First quarter of 2020. Ofcourse a common man will appreciate it blindly.
Let every kannadigas know that there is a near future plan wherein Electricity Bill be hiked.
Simple concept is implemented here:::: A BIG news regarding decrease has been highlighted.
As and when it is increased no media will show rather people will be diverted towards other issues just because not to raise any negative impact.
Let KA govt dare to adopt Delhi govt to provide 200 units of Free electricity.
