Dikshit attacks BJP on power tariff issue, accuses it of misleading people.

Rejecting BJP's criticism on hike in power tariff, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Thursday reminded the party of widespread protests due to long outages when it was ruling the city 15 years back and questioned its promise of cutting electricity rates by 30 per cent if it wins the Assembly polls.

Delivering her Independence Day speech in New Delhi, she launched a scathing attack on BJP, accusing the party of trying to "mislead" the people on the power tariff issue to gain political mileage while insisting that the rates are much lower in Delhi compared to other metropolitan cities.
