Telangana CM KCR strongly defending his government on power crisis has once again tried to transfer the blame onto previous governments, while highlighting the efforts put by his government to address the crisis. He squarely blames the AP government and it’s Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for the present crisis.

He alleges that Chandrababu is encouraging his party leaders of Telangana to go on bus yatras to highlight the crisis, while obstructing power supply from the state to Telangana. He said Chandrababu seems has determined to ruin the agriculture in Telangana so as Telangana government will be blamed for it.

He said, however his government will not allow him to do so. He explained various measures like revamping and recharging of water tanks (ponds) across the state, signing MoUs with Chhattisgarh government for 1000mw power supply, efforts to construction of power generation plants and laying power transmission lines etc. taken by his government so far. He assured within next two years there would be visible improvement in irrigation and power situation.

CM KCR may not said that there are not enough transmission lines between the two states that can carry 1000mw power supply, but Chhattisgarh CM Dr. Raman Singh’s appeal to Centre for the same reveals that KCR is just trying to take excuse with his MoU. If, KCR could convince the Centre for laying transmission lines, then also it may take not less than three to four years, otherwise it may take decades to complete. So, it seems KCR seeking excuse showing the MoU to escape from the opposition parties.

Telangana government might be making a right move with its Water-Grid proposals, but it also need water to recharge. Unless, there is sufficient rain fall and sufficient water in the rivers, these link-ponds can’t be recharged. However, it is wide idea to repair the abandoned water ponds well ahead of rainy season. Whether, he admits or not, one thing is clear that his government can’t resolve the power and irrigation water issues right now. He is saying the same in other words by with his assurances.
