Sharmila Slams Andhra Govt. on Power Tariff Burden
YS Sharmila, a Congress leader, is criticizing the Andhra Pradesh government.
She says they promised not to raise electricity prices, but they've already made people pay a lot more.
She points out that the government said they would even lower prices by 30% if elected.
Now, she claims, the government wants to add even more charges.
