The issue of power supply to farmers in the state, particularly the claim that the ruling BRS government is failing to provide 24-hour electricity for agriculture. It mentions two individuals who have made comments on the matter.
TRANSCO Chairman and Managing Director Prabhakar Rao stated at Vemulawada Rajanna Temple that the focus should be on the quality of power provided to farmers, rather than the number of hours of supply.
On the other hand, Minister Errabelli Dayakar reportedly said that farmers do not necessarily need 24-hour power, although the BRS government is prepared to provide it.
The comments made by these two individuals indirectly suggest that there is, in fact, no 24-hour power supply for agriculture. It further mentions that authorities have confiscated logbooks in substations across all districts of the state and instructed staff not to show them to anyone, if they are kept in the substations.
The ruling BRS government is facing a challenge from the Congress party, which claims that 24-hour power is not being provided to agriculture.
Instead of addressing this challenge directly, the government is allegedly advertising its acceptance of the truth that it is not providing round-the-clock electricity. The comments made by TRANSCO CMD Prabhakar Rao and Minister Errabelli Dayakar are seen as part of this overall strategy.
