Do you think Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Corporation Ltd (MSEDCL) is exploiting you?

Residents of Mumbai's eastern suburbs, Thane and Navi Mumbai believe that Maharashtra Government is "discriminating" and they have decided to launch an agitation against it.

Residents of the eastern suburbs of Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai ask "Why don't they get power supply from Tata, Reliance and BEST as most of Mumbai? Why are they left at the mercy of state-controlled monopoly, the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Corporation Ltd (MSEDCL) and forced to suffer frequent power cuts? Why can't they enjoy no-power-cuts like most of Mumbai?

I find residents of the eastern suburbs of Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai are absolutely right. They do not have to convince anybody or argue their case. This is discrimination. We all support them in their agitation. But tell me if frequent power cuts is a discrimination then 'no power supply' and 'higher rates' is what, an exploitation?

When you pay your electricity bill do you wonder why rural areas get free power, even those farmers who can afford motors do not have to pay for the electricity? Isn't it an exploitation of an honest tax payer like you?
