The Aam Aadmi Party today alleged there was a "conspiracy" to increase power tariff in the national capital and vowed to oppose any such move.
Saurabh Bharadwaj, chief spokesperson of AAP's Delhi unit, said power tariff has been consistently increasing since 2011.
"We have learnt from media reports and also from our sources that there is a conspiracy to hike the rates. Power discoms, too, have petitioned the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission to increase the tariff," he said.
