'CM unable to mount pressure on the Centre'

Putting pressure on Chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy, BJP leader Bandaru Dattatreya has insisted that the CM call an all-party meet to discuss the acute power shortage in the state.

Dattatreya accused the Congress government of negligence saying the power crisis in the state is affecting its development and also disrupting the functioning of industries which may lead to job cuts of more than 20 lakh employees. He added that the Government was not adopting proper policies and lacks foresight about power production.
He blamed Kiran Kumar Reddy for the crisis. He said the CM has been only making statements, but is unable to mount pressure on the Centre to provide additional coal and gas for electricity generation. He said, "There was scope for getting 500 MW from the southern grid, but the chief minister has failed to get the State's share from the grid. As a result, the power crisis in Andhra Pradesh has further worsened."
He further asked the CM to convene an all-party meeting to discuss various issues related to the power crisis. The BJP has chalked out a protest programme over the Government's power policy and shortage of electricity which has severely affected industries, farmers and domestic users.
