Energy minister suspects a bigger conspiracy to malign TS

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Energy minister G. Jagadish Reddy suspects a 'larger conspiracy' behind the Union power ministry directing Telangana discoms to pay dues of Rs.6,756 crore to AP Genco within a month. The BJP-led NDA government at the Centre was “deliberately creating troubles for Telangana government and TS discoms with the malafide intention of weakening both financially and causing hindrance to uninterrupted power supply,” he said. The Telangana government also wrote dozens of letters to the Centre on the over `12,000 crore that AP owes to TS power utilities. The fact that the Centre imposed over `3,000 crore interest burden on Telangana on the issue of power dues reflects its 'discrimination' against TS, Reddy said.
