Union minister and Shiv Sena leader Prataprao Jadhav has claimed his family's three generations, including himself, never paid the farm electricity bills.

 

Speaking at an event on Saturday regarding the Eknath Shinde government’s flagship farm electricity bills waiver scheme, Jadhav, who serves as the Minister of State for Ayush and Health and Family Welfare, claimed, "I am a farmer. We haven't paid bills for the last three generations. My grandfather's (water) pumps are still there. Neither my grandfather and my father, nor I paid the farm electricity bills."

 

 Jadhav, who represents Maharashtra's Buldhana Lok Sabha constituency, said if the distribution panel (DP) burnt, he would give Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,000 to the engineer concerned to install a new one.
