In deciding to reinstate a clutch of long-term power supply contracts totalling 464 MW after five months, the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government is trying to trick the people of Kerala, Leader of Opposition V.D. Satheesan said on October 7.
Mr. Satheesan demanded a comprehensive probe into the Kerala government’s role in the earlier decision to scrap the 25-year-long Design, Build, Finance, Own and Operate (DBFOO) agreements.
In a statement, he also declared that the Opposition United Democratic Front’s (UDF) will oppose any move to pass on any additional financial burden caused by the denial of approval to the contracts to the consumers in the form of surcharge on electricity bills.
