Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva made the announcement during a press conference on Sunday, criticising the Delhi government and electricity distribution companies for their alleged failure to secure electricity in advance for peak summer and winter demands, PTI reported."The burden of these additional costs is being unfairly placed on residents," Sachdeva stated. He called for a judicial inquiry, claiming that the PPAC was not part of the approved Business Regulatory Plan for power distribution companies until 2015, and alleged that its current imposition is a result of corrupt practices between the Arvind Kejriwal government and power distribution companies.During the press conference, Sachdeva released a copy of a letter addressed to the Chairman of the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC), calling for intervention on the issue of excessive PPAC, pension surcharges, meter charges, and load surcharges, which have collectively inflated consumers' electricity bills. "Since 2015, the PPAC has increased every summer and winter for the relevant quarter, but it has never been withdrawn after the quarter ends," Sachdeva highlighted.To protest against these charges, BJP workers will hold demonstrations at power distribution company offices across all districts of Delhi on Monday, Sachdeva said, as per PTI.Oli-Led Nepal Government to be Sworn in todayKathmandu: K P Sharma Oli, the leader of Nepal's largest communist party, has been appointed as Nepal's Prime Minister for a fourth term.

Breaking News LIVE: 'Violence Has Never Been The Answer' Says Biden In Address To US

While addressing the nation, US President Joe Biden says, "...Tonight, I want to speak to what we do know. A former president was shot, and an American citizen was killed, while simply exercising his freedom to support the candidate of his choosing. We cannot, we must not go down this road in America we've travelled before throughout our history, violence has never been the answer. Whether it's with members of Congress of both parties being targeted and shot, or a violent mob attacking the Capitol on January 6, or brutal attack on the spouse of former speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, or information and intimidation on election officials, or the kidnapping plot against the sitting governor, or an attempted assassination on Donald Trump.

The stakes in this election are enormously high. I've said many times that the choice in the selection we make in this election is going to shape the future of America and the world for decades to come..."
