Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) on Monday submitted a memorandum to Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar here demanding an immediate rollback of the hike in power tariff and an independent high-level probe in the alleged paddy scam in the State.

A delegation of the State’s main Opposition party led by senior leader Abhay Singh Chautala also urged the government to take action against the alleged acts of “omission and commission” and other “irregularities” by the previous Congress regime in the State.

Mr. Chautala said they submitted a “charge sheet” against the previous Congress government to the Chief Minister, demanding action against them.

He said they had earlier given the same “charge sheet”, pertaining to alleged land and other scams by the Bhupinder Singh Hooda-led government to the then Governor as well.

On the hiked power tariff, Mr. Chautala said the hiked power tarriff had broken the back of the common consumers.-PTI
