Rajasthan bypolls: BJP leading on three seats, Congress and BAP on two each
The BJP was leading on Deoli Uniara, Khimvsar and Jhunjhunu, the Congress on Ramgarh and Dausa and the BAP on Salumber and Chorasi.
Leader of Opposition Tikaram Jully from the Congress party on Saturday slammed the BJP government for increasing the electricity fuel charge, claiming that it was a deliberate move to financially burden the people of the state.
Jully told reporters that the BJP government in the state, which is controlled by the Delhi Durbar, has dealt a severe blow to electricity consumers, who are already struggling with an economic crisis, by increasing the fuel charge.
Jully said that the state government has decided to withdraw relief from the current month, and power consumers using more than 200 units of electricity will not get any exemption now.

He demanded that the 200-unit exemption, which was granted to every consumer during the tenure of the Gehlot government, be restored and that no additional hidden charges be levied.
Jully said that the Opposition will strongly raise the issue of erratic monthly calculations following the imposition of the fuel charge on consumers in the Assembly on Monday.
Besides, he strongly condemned the government’s decision to cancel the 5-year exemption in police service for the OBC category.
