Union Minister of State for Power R K Singh has criticised the tardy implementation of the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana and Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS) in Jammu and Kashmir during the period 2015-17.
Though R K Singh did not name anyone, his criticism seemed to be directed towards his own party colleague, BJP leader Dr Nirmal Singh, the former J&K deputy chief minister who held the power portfolio first from March 1, 2015 to January 6, 2016, in the cabinet headed by Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, and then from April 4, 2016 to April 29, 2018, during the tenure of Mehbooba Mufti as Chief Minister.
