With the Congress-ruled Chhattisgarh government facing continuous resistance from its tribal people over mining in forest areas, another Congress-ruled state Rajasthan has claimed that if the Bhupesh Baghel-led government does not grant clearances for mining the Parsa block, it might soon be staring at a power crisis.
After his letters to Baghel did not result in desired progress, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot recently knocked at the doors of Congress President Sonia Gandhi. Urban Development and Housing Minister Shanti Dhariwal said Gehlot wrote to the Congress President to bring the related issues to her notice.
“Very little coal is now left in the coal mines allotted to us in Chhattisgarh. For other coal mines are also allotted to us, some local formalities are still in process.
