‘Modi hai, mumkin hai’: Chidambaram’s jibe at Centre over power crisis

Taking a swipe at the Centre over the issue of widespread power outages, Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Saturday said the government has found the “perfect solution” to it which is to cancel passenger trains and run coal rakes.

Various states are struggling with power shortages amid the ongoing heatwave. The Aam Aadmi Party and Congress leaders held the Centre responsible for the current power crisis and alleged that logistical support was not being provided for coal distribution to power plants.

Attacking the government over the issue, Chidambaram said, “Abundant coal, large rail network, unutilised capacity in thermal plants. Yet, there is acute power shortage. Modi Government cannot be blamed. It is because of 60 years of Congress rule!”
