HYDERABAD: Condemning the BRS campaign alleging shortage of electricity supply in Karnataka, Congress leader and Karnataka Energy Minister KJ George on Thursday said that the agriculture sector in his state was getting adequate power. He also accused the BRS of politicising the situation, instead of coming to Karnataka’s rescue out of federal spirit.
“Unfortunately, the BRS is politicising the power situation in Karnataka. If there is any problem they should be coming to our rescue. After all, we are Indians. Instead, they brought some farmers and did some dharna,” George said, addressing a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan. He added that the Karnataka government has revived thermal power stations to address the power issue.
Lashing out at Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, CWC member Ajoy Kumar alleged that the BRS government was delaying payment of Rs 3,000 crore to Chhattisgarh, resulting in power shortages in Telangana.
