Talking to reporters, the NCP spokesperson Nawab Malik said many power plants are not operational due to the shortage of coal.
The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on Tuesday alleged that the Modi government was responsible for the current shortage of coal in the country, which has caused a shortfall of the fuel supply to several power plants.
Talking to reporters, the NCP spokesperson Nawab Malik said many power plants are not operational due to the shortage of coal. Despite importing the fuel, the shortfall remains. This is also leading to spending the foreign exchange, he said.
During the tenure of the erstwhile UPA government, the then Prime Minister Manmo han Singh had come up with a coal policy keeping in mind the electricity requirements of the country in the future, he said.
After Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashok’s prediction on Saturday that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will step down in November 2025 triggered intense political discussions in the State, Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Sunday said Mr. Siddaramaiah will continue for the full five-year term.
