Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar on Friday questioned the Centre’s claim that the 750 MW solar plant in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh was Asia’s largest, saying that fame should come to Karnataka’s Pavagada solar plant.
“BJP Central Govt is claiming today that it inaugurated Asia’s Largest Solar Plant of 750 MW at Rewa, Madhya Pradesh. What then is the 2000 MW Solar Plant in Pavagada, Karnataka which was built in just 3 years by Congress govt and has been operational since 2018?” Shivakumar said in a tweet.
“Union Power Minister must answer as to how the Central Government can claim that the Rewa Solar Park (750 MW) opened today is Asia’s largest when clearly the Pavagada Park in Karnataka is much larger (2000 MW) and was opened two years back!” he said.
