Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Arun Yadav today alleged that BJP government in the state was charging the highest power tariff in the country.

"The MP government is recovering the highest power bills in the country. The farmers who fail to pay inflated bills are harassed. Government is confiscating their tractors, (pump) motors, etc," he alleged, speaking at a press conference here.

Electricity was being provided for only six to eight hours in villages, he claimed.

"On one hand the government is closing power generation plants, while on the other hand it is purchasing power from other states," Yadav alleged.
