Congress MP counters KTR’s remarks on power

Bhuvanagiri MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy on Wednesday countered BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao’s criticism of the State government’s handling of the power sector, accusing the opposition party of politicising issues affecting farmers.

Reacting to Mr. Rama Rao’s decision to send six BRS teams to inspect power stations, the Congress MP alleged that the move was intended to create a false impression of a power crisis. He rejected BRS claims on the sector’s achievements and asserted that free power for farmers was a Congress initiative.
