‘Modi hai, mumkin hai’: P Chidambaram’s jab at Centre over coal, power crisis
Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Saturday took a dig at the Centre over the power crisis triggered by a shortage of coal and exacerbated by ferocious heatwaves. The former union home and finance minister tweeted, “Abundant coal, large rail network, unutilised capacity in thermal plants. Yet, there is an acute power shortage Modi government cannot be blamed for. It is because of 60 years of Congress rule!”
“Government has found the perfect solution: cancel passenger trains and run coal rakes! Modi hai, mumkin hai,” Chidambaram said – a sarcastic swipe at the government’s move yesterday to suspend over 40 passenger trains in favour of those carrying coal.
The Congress has blamed the power crisis – which follows a similar problem late last year – on the Centre’s misgovernance and mismanagement.
