It is a known news that the AP government hiked the prices of electricity abnormally. Subsequently, there were many protests from opposition political parties and some of the political leaders within the party, to cut down the price hike of electricity. The Union Minister of Chiranjeevi reacted quite aggressively and sent a fax message to the state political in-charge, Mr.Gulam Nabi Azad, to take necessary action in this regard. The very next day, Azad phoned to the CM and had reportedly ordered him to take prompt action to cut down the prices of electricity.
The government is likely to revise the price hike and reduce the prices at their best. Though many people claim it might be their victory, Chiranjeevi's camp supporters are saying that it is Chiranjeevi's victory, as Azad reacted immediately on the issue based on Chiranjeevi's letter. Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi sanctioned Rs.46 crores for the development of Visakha-Bheemili corridor, as a tourism minister.
