Ryots getting only 12-hr power supply, alleges Harish Rao
T. Harish Rao of the BRS party has accused the Telangana Congress government of failing to provide adequate power and water to the agricultural sector. He claims official records contradict government assertions that there are no power cuts.
Why it matters
This reflects the ongoing political rivalry and debate over infrastructure management and agricultural support in Telangana.
Deputy Floor Leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in the Assembly T. Harish Rao alleged that the Congress Government had failed in ensuring uninterrupted power supply, available water for irrigation to the agriculture sector, and drinking water to people.
He along with party leaders of Alair constituency in Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri district made a surprise visit to the Solepet substation in Bommalaramaram mandal, examined the records (log book) on supply of power to the farm sector.
Mr. Rao quoted the substation operator as telling him that farmers were earlier given 14 to 15 hours of power supply , but fresh instructions from the government limited agricultural power supply to only 12 hours a day.
