State BJP chief spokesperson Keshav Upadhye alleged that the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government's "irresponsible" steps were to blame for the coal shortage.
Mumbai: The opposition BJP in Maharashtra on Thursday said the Shiv Sena-led MVA government was solely responsible for shortage of coal which has affected power generation at thermal plants in the state.
State BJP chief spokesperson Keshav Upadhye alleged that the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government's "irresponsible" steps were to blame for the coal shortage.
Upadhye said, “Coal India Ltd on March 9 this year had asked all thermal power plants to lift and stock sufficient coal. A letter was sent to state-based plants including those located at Bhusaval, Koradi (near Nagpur) and Chandrapur. However, power generation utility MahaGenco on March 21 informed Coal India that the state's electricity requirement has gone down."
