KCR government’s U turn on AP Power

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao the last year announced that the state will not be laying a stake on the power from Krishnapatnam project when the controversy of Power PPAs are going on. KCR stated in the AP Assembly that Krishnapatnam Power is very costly and so the state will look to obtain power from other sources.

Telangana government subsequently wrote a letter reiterating the same to the center. But now Telangana government is struggling to buy power from external sources and is keen on buying the same power which it left earlier. Minister Jagadish Reddy earlier today said that Telangana government is interested to buy Krishnapatnam Power.

He went on to say that government had written letters about that on 4-5 instances but is yet to get proper response from AP government. Telangana is facing acute shortage of power due to the increase of demand in the Summer. The unscheduled power cuts have made their comeback to Telangana districts and also in Hyderabad.
