The Power development department had declared Mr Raina as a defaulter along with several other politicians, including former J&K chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad.
The Jammu and Kashmir BJP chief Ravinder Raina has said that that a "clerical error" led to an inflated electricity bill and disconnected power supply at his residence in Jammu. On Tuesday, Mr Raina paid Rs 13,781 power dues after he was given a modified power bill in place of the earlier bill of over Rs 2 lakh.
Earlier, the Power development department had declared Mr Raina as a defaulter along with several other politicians, including former J&K chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad.
According to reports, Mr Azad owes over four lakh rupees to the power development department.
The PDD had disconnected power supply to more than 1,100 consumers in Jammu, and among the defaulters are several political leaders and officials.
