In a significant move benefiting electricity consumers in Haryana, the government has announced that there will be no increase in electricity bills throughout the financial year 2024-25. This decision stems from a strategic political move, considering the upcoming Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in 2024.

Haryana Congress leader Deepender Hooda expressed his gratitude, claiming a substantial victory in approximately 50 out of 70 seats bordering Haryana. Notably, the Shekhawati belt in North Rajasthan, encompassing districts like Neem ka Thana, Jhunjhunu, and Sikar, witnessed a remarkable performance by Congress, securing 29 out of 34 seats.
