Deputy Floor Leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in the Telangana Assembly and former minister T. Harish Rao has strongly opposed the proposed increase in electricity charges in the name of true-ups and said the government was forcing an additional burden of ₹5,420 crore on consumers.

Besides making people, particularly the farming community, suffer from power cuts, they are burdened with hike in the power charges. During Dasara and Diwali, the government should have given people some relief. Instead, it has increased the burden, he said addressing a press conference in Hyderabad on Tuesday (October 6, 2026)
