New Delhi: The Congress party on Friday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government for the electricity crisis and alleged that coal is not being transported to plants, which is why the country is facing power shortage. The party also demanded that the “artificial” power crisis should be immediately resolved.
“Today the condition is that there are coal plants with 72-thousand-megawatt capacity that are lying barren because there is no coal. It’s not like there is no coal in the country. There is. But Modi doesn’t think it is necessary to transport it to the plants,” Congress spokesperson Gourav Vallabh said.
“India is capable enough of producing electricity and has raw material too, but Modi ji could not even transport coal from coal mines to power plants,” he added.
