The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has thrown an open challenge to Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited (AEML) to prove that electricity bills have been hiked by 0.2 per cent, and not 10 to 15 per cent as claimed by citizens and the party. The party has given the power company a 10-day ultimatum to address the public's grievance of inflated electricity bills, or else, face their wrath.

On Saturday, a delegation of MNS leaders along with the AEML authorities held a discussion to address complaints from citizens on the sudden rise in power bills. Senior party members Avinash Abhyankar and Nayan Kadam tabled several electricity bills before the AEML officials to substantiate their claim that bills recently received by citizens are higher by 20 to 40 per cent in comparison to the earlier service provider.
