Leader of the Opposition K Jana Reddy on Monday advised Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao to take legal action against the Andhra Pradesh government if it was creating an energy crisis in Telangana.
Participating in the discussion on the issue in the State Legislative Assembly, Jana Reddy said the Congress would fully support the State Government in waging a legal battle against the obstacles coming in the way of the development of Telangana.
However, he asked the TRS Government to clarify its plans to resolve the power crisis.
Jana Reddy also alleged that despite approval from the Godavari River Board, the AP Government was not generating power so as to deny Telangana its share of power.
However, he dismissed the allegations of the TRS wherein it accused the previous Congress regime of ignoring Telangana.
He said that the previous Congress Government had strengthened the power sector and the then united AP ranked fourth in the country in terms of power generation.
He said that the erstwhile Congress Government added nearly 15,000 Million Units of power during its 10-year rule, and took it to 49,000 MU.
He asked KCR to clarify how he planned to generate 21,000 MW in the next three years.
He said that if KCR achieved this target, then not only the Opposition, but the entire population of Telangana would praise him. (INN)
