Telangana Congress president A. Revanth Reddy has challenged the BRS government to come for a discussion at the Martyrs Memorial in Gun Park on the free power supply claimed by the government and alleged that not even 12 hours of quality power was being supplied for agriculture.
In a statement from the United States, Mr. Reddy said the government has burdened the Discoms with ₹60,000 loans putting their survival at stake and he was ready for a discussion at Gun Park with the BRS leadership. He called upon the Congress workers to protest and burn the effigies of Chief MinisterK. Chandrasekhar Rao on Wednesday at all the sub-stations in Telangana for his failure to provide quality power.
His response comes in the wake of the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) calling for protests against his reported comments that 8 hours of quality power supply would suffice for 90% of the farmers and that the 24-hour supply was only taking commissions from the suppliers. The BRS cadres protested across Telangana on a call given by Municipal Minister K.T. Rama Rao condemning Mr. Reddy’s comments in the USA.
