Karnataka's decision to raise bus fares by 15% has raised concerns in Telangana, where many fear a similar hike
In Himachal Pradesh, the Congress government promised 300 units of free power but is now asking people to give up 125 units, which has upset many.
Karnataka will raise bus fares by 15% starting January 5 to support the bus service. This has worried people in Telangana, who fear that the Congress government there might also raise fares.
Telangana offers free bus travel for women, and some are concerned this could lead to higher fares.
In Telangana, the BJP says the free travel program is causing financial issues for the bus service and that the government is not managing the economy well.
The Congress government, however, claims that the program has saved women money and helped fill more seats on buses.
In Himachal Pradesh, the Congress government promised 300 units of free power but is now asking people to give up 125 units, which has upset many. The opposition is calling for the Chief Minister to resign for not keeping the promise.
