Pinarayi Vijayan Blames UDF Govt For Power Crisis

Times of India · politics

Opposition leader Pinarayi Vijayan has blamed the UDF government for the current power crisis in Keralam, alleging its "ineptitude" has turned the electricity sector into a commodity for private players. He claimed that 60% of the country's power generation is controlled by private groups, and shortages create opportunities to exploit consumers. Vijayan also questioned the delay in setting up battery energy storage systems, suggesting a push for private participation, including the Adani group, at the state's expense.
