The Congress on Saturday slammed the BJP-JJP government in Haryana for ‘going soft’ on Adani Power Limited, which has stopped 1,424 MW of contracted electricity supply to the state despite a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) in place.
Congress general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala at a press briefing accused the state government of having a nexus with private power generators. “What action has chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar taken against Adani Power for not supplying contracted power of 1,424 MW since 2021?,” he asked.
Surjewala said the state is not getting contracted power at cheap rates from Adani Power and has to buy electricity at double rate to meet the shortfall at the cost of public exchequer.
