Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has alleged that the BJP-led Government at the Centre was trying to force reforms in the power sector against the interests of farmers and the poor without a view benefit some corporate companies.
“Some corporate friends of the BJP Government want to set up huge solar power plants in the country and the Centre wants the States buy the energy generated there with the help of reforms by giving distribution business into their hands. Such purchases of energy will force the State-owned generation units including the hydel stations to go idle and burden the consumers with high tariffs”, Mr. Rao explained speaking at public meeting at Raigir in Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri district on Saturday.
As part of such reforms the Centre wants Telangana to install energy-reading meters to all agricultural connections so that the private companies that own distribution business could collect high charges from farmers, the Chief Minister said and vowed that he would not allow such metering of farm connections at any cost and his government was ready to foot the bill of farm power supply even if it goes up to ₹15,000 crore a year.
