The power crisis gripping Karnataka is a legacy of BJP’s alleged misrule in the State, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said on Wednesday.
Fielding reporters’ queries outside his residence, Mr. Siddaramaiah said the BJP government failed to add even a single MW of power to the existing capacity in the State during its tenure. “If Karnataka is facing a shortage of power in the wake of drought, it is the BJP that is responsible,” he said.
In contrast, the earlier Congress government had added a total of 16,000 MW of power, he claimed.
