Chhattisgarh’s much-publicized zero power cut claim had come under the lens of new Congress government which says it plans to examine the status.
The previous Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government had showcased the zero power cut claim as one of its biggest feats during its 15-year rule. The then Chief Minister Raman Singh had asserted that Chhattisgarh was the first state in the country where there was no load-shedding.
“The state government would examine the matter to know the status,” Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel announced in the state legislative assembly today. He said that during peak hour there could be a shutdown in power supply.
