NEW DELHI: Criticising the unprecedented power cuts experienced by the Capital's citizens for the past few weeks, the Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly, Jagdish Mukhi, said on Wednesday that the tall claims of the Delhi Government over power reforms stood exposed. In a statement, Mr. Mukhi said it had been proved that the so-called privatisation of power was nothing but an exercise to pass on huge benefits to big business houses and certain individuals at the cost of the common man. Despite four years into privatisation, the people of Delhi were still being subjected to eight to ten hours of power cuts daily that had never happened even during the time of erstwhile Delhi Vidyut Board. He said the Bharatiya Janata Party time and again had been raising the issue of power privatisation scam and the deteriorating power situation in the Capital and its stand had been vindicated now by the comments of Delhi Assembly Speaker Chaudhary Prem Singh who has expressed his anguish over the functioning of the private power distribution companies.
