In a major relief to approximately 30 lakh power consumers in the city, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday ordered an inquiry into the allegedly inflated bills complaint by Mumbai's suburban citizens against Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited (AEML). With BJP, too, raising concerns over inflated bills, the issue is turning out to be a political power slugfest to woo suburban voters.

Vote bank politics?
After mid-day's report on the inflated power bills, Raj Thackeray-led MNS was first to raise the red flag on the issue, followed by Congress president Sanjay Nirupam and Shiv Sena's Anil Parab. The latest to join the bandwagon is BJP city president Ashish Shelar.
