Unscheduled power cuts in Rajasthan result of state govt's mismanagement: Vasundhara Raje

India TV News  

BJP vice president Vasundhara Raje on Saturday targeted the Rajasthan government over the power crisis in the state, saying the unscheduled power cuts are a result of the Congress dispensation's mismanagement. However, Rajasthan Energy Minister B D Kalla, who reached Delhi to resolve the issue, blamed the power crisis on increased demand due to weak monsoon and disruption of coal supply. The Suratgarh Super Thermal Power Plant has come to a standstill, with all six units of 250-250 MW closed due to the non-availability of coal rakes, she said. In a tweet, he claimed 4,000 MW of power generation capacity has been affected due to the closure of units of Kalisindh and Suratgarh thermal plants and as a result, people in rural areas are facing unannounced power cuts.
