00:00Yesterday, the EP Electoral Regulatory Commission held a public hearing here.

00:06I, Jalli Wilson, Mr. Vanaja and Mr. Ravindranath were present at the hearing.

00:12We are very clear about the fact that after the Electoral Regulatory Commission is established,

00:19people are losing confidence in it.

00:22Because, not only are the consumers who are involved in it protecting their interests,

00:28but they are also trying to put more pressure on the people.

00:33Secondly, they are putting a lot of pressure on the people in the name of true-up charges.

00:41In the last five months, they have already charged Rs. 6,072 crores and Rs. 9,412 crores.

00:52This is the third time they are saying that it won't happen.

00:55Even if they say that it won't happen, they will continue to do it.

00:58So, they are putting a lot of pressure on the people.

01:02Secondly, they are building power purchase agreements.

01:07Today, the AP Janco is stealing a lot of money from the people.

01:15They are using this money to build power purchase agreements.

01:20The AP Electoral Regulatory Commission has given permission to do this.

01:23Today, they are using all the power that is available in the state to do this.

01:31Similarly, when Mr. Chandrababu Naidu was not in power, he said that smart meters are not allowed.

01:37Today, when he is in power again, he is saying that smart meters will be installed.

01:40Has anyone in this state asked for smart meters?

01:44So, today, we have asked for it as a commission.

01:47You can put a public hearing on this.

01:49Are you asking for smart meters in public?

01:52Or are you going to put a public hearing on this in a minute?

01:55After that, you can decide what you want to do.

01:59More importantly than all this,

02:01today, not only in the state, but also in the country,

02:03this is an issue that is being discussed worldwide.

02:06Today, they have made an agreement with Adani.

02:10They are not promoting it with Adani, but with Sekki.

02:13Not with Sekki, but for Adani.

02:16They bought 7,000 megawatts of electricity,

02:20and from Adani, they received 1750 crore rupees in bribes.

02:25Today, in America, a case was filed in the New York Eastern District Court.

02:30They gave notices to Gautam Adani and Sagar Adani.

02:34In this situation, today, the commission is making a mistake.

02:38The commission has also consented to this agreement.

02:40So, today is a historic day.

02:43The AP Electricity Regulatory Commission,

02:46whatever consent they have given,

02:48we have asked them to withdraw that consent.

02:51More importantly than all this,

02:53if this agreement is made with Adani today,

02:55it will have an impact for 25 years.

02:58In the 26 districts of the state,

03:001 lakh 10,000 crore rupees will be burdened.

03:04This is what our Chief Minister,

03:06Mr. Chandrababu Naidu, has also proposed.

03:09Today, we have also filed a case on that in Gautam.

03:12Today, the Electricity Regulatory Commission,

03:15if they really want to do something for this state,

03:18if they want to save this power sector,

03:21if they want to avoid burdening the state's electricity consumers,

03:25first and foremost,

03:26they have to withdraw the consent they have given.

03:30They have also filed a case.

03:32They have also filed a case to do justice to the Electricity Regulatory Commission.

03:35Sir, what is this?

03:36Is there any corruption?

03:37Even though there have been many complaints,

03:39even though there have been many complaints,

03:42the Gautam government has never complained.

03:44Is there any corruption in the Electricity Regulatory Commission?

03:47We have brought all the members for the Electricity Regulatory Commission.

03:50We have also held a protest here yesterday.

03:53After the decision of the Electricity Regulatory Commission,

03:56we are going to meet all of you.

03:58Not only the Electricity Regulatory Commission,

04:00but all the political parties,

04:02and all the political parties,

04:04we are going to do a great job in all the 26 districts.

04:08There is no problem in leaving it.

04:10Similarly, I would like to say this to the Chief Minister, Chandrababu Naidu.

04:14Today, this is a test for you.

04:17Because in the 60s, you said that the agreement with Adani was wrong.

04:21Today, your Finance Minister, Mr. Payyavallu Keshav,

04:24after I filed a case, he also filed a case in the High Court.

04:28So, today, you are in power.

04:30Why are you not talking about the agreement?

04:32Mr. Chandrababu Naidu is also fighting to name Adani in the Assembly.

04:36So, today, I am clearly saying this.

04:38If you give in to Adani because you joined the NDA group,

04:42the people of the state will not forgive you.

04:45The people will definitely take a decision on this.

04:47So, today, I am also asking the government to come forward.

04:51Until the current charges are reduced,

04:54until the agreement with Adani is cancelled,

04:56until the Smart Meter is approved,

04:59our struggle will continue.

05:01We will join all those who have joined us and our struggle will continue.
