Power Crisis: Congress' Kamal Nath accused the government of lack of planning and "handling the situation the way they mismanaged COVID pandemic".
Congress leader Kamal Nath has slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) governments at the Centre and in Madhya Pradesh over the "power crisis" in the state and accused the party of taking the issue lightly.
Talking to reporters here, the former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister accused the government of lack of planning and "handling the situation the way they mismanaged COVID pandemic".
"Today the entire state is facing a power, coal crisis. Farmers are suffering. Traders are suffering, Students are suffering. This is the consequence of the corruption they (BJP government) have done in the last two years. This (power crisis) is a matter of concern. BJP is taking this lightly," the Congress leader alleged.
"This situation has not emerged suddenly. This has been happening for some time now. But they have been denying this. They do not have any planning. They are handling the situation the way they mismanaged the COVID pandemic," he added.
