Kapoor said that these leaders do not know that when smart meters are installed, there are also prepaid meters in them. He said that on the issue of smart meters, the LG, BJP leaders and the secretary are giving contradictory statements, due to which the people are in a state of confusion as to whom they should believe, the LG or the BJP leaders or the statements of the secretary. He said that the real issue is of smart meters and property tax and even as far as toll plaza is concerned, there should not be any toll plaza in the state as the BJP leaders themselves have said that there is no toll plaza in the UT. Kapoor said that to divert people’s attention from the issue of smart meters, the BJP has raised the issue of toll plazas. Atim Pur said that if there were no toll plazas in the UT, then why the blood of the people is being sucked by setting up toll plazas in Jammu and Kashmir. Kapoor said that there should not be any toll plaza in Jammu and Kashmir and toll plazas should be set up only after the statehood is restored. He strongly criticized the LG administration for deploying police force to install smart meters by force. He said that after the installation of smart meters, people are being handed huge electricity bills. Kapoor said that if smart meters are correct then why are people’s bills getting higher. He said that people do not accept toll plazas, smart meters and property tax and their agitation will continue until the government withdraws these decisions.
