'Gruha Jyoti' free electricity scheme can be availed by tenants as well: CM Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru, Jun 6 (PTI) Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday said tenants are also eligible to avail the ‘Gruha Jyoti’ scheme, under which 200 units of free power will be provided to all domestic consumers in the state from July 1.
The clarification comes a day after the Congress government had issued guidelines to avail the free electricity under the scheme.
“We will provide free power (up to 200 units) to those living in rented accommodation as well. Poor people who consume less than 200 units of power will not have to pay the bills. This (scheme) will be applicable to the tenants,” Siddaramaiah told reporters here.
