People burdened with various taxes: Sharmila

Sharmila castigated Chief Minister Kirankumar Reddy for not planning in advance for the power problems and burdening people with huge fuel surcharge adjustment (FSA).

Addressing an impromptu meeting at Binigera village in Kurnool district during the course of her Maro Praja Prasthanam, Sharmila reminded that poor people used to get a monthly power bill of Rs. 50 with continuous power supply during YSR regime.

“Now, there is no continuous power supply but monthly power bills have gone up multifold making the lives of poor and middle class people burdensome,” she said, adding that the Government has been extracting money from people in shape of various taxes.

People are financially suffering because of hefty hike in RTC bus charges, cooking gas prices and power charges. She observed. “It seems the CM is in deep slumber while the people are facing the brunt of the raising prices,” she said.

Some beneficiaries of Arogya Sri Scheme met Sharmila and expressed their gratitude saying they are very much indebted to YSR as they had successfully undergone heart operations under the scheme during YSR regime.

At several places, agricultural laborers complained to Sharmila they are not getting regular works and their daily wages are also very less.
