Hyderabad's Old City's
electricity distribution would be managed by the
adani Group, the
chief minister, A
revanth reddy, said on Thursday,
june 27 in New Delhi. Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leaders responded sharply to the disclosure, challenging the
congress party's stance on the
gautam Adani-led
adani Group.
As a trial project, the
chief minister proposed giving the
gautam Adani-led company control over the Old City district. He justified the aforementioned decision by pointing to
customer nonpayment of bills and attacks on energy
service members when they attempt to recover overdue payments.
Reddy went on to say that the
adani Group will be given control over
electricity distribution in
hyderabad and eventually the whole state following the completion of the Old City pilot project.
25% revenue to Adani
Additionally, he said that the state
government will receive 75% of the overall earnings, with 25% going to the
adani Group.
According to
revanth, discussions on the issue were made with the
adani Group, and all sides were able to come to a consensus.
Congress MP
rahul gandhi was referred to as a “hypocrite” by BRS spokesperson Manne Krishank, who cited a
telugu media story.
“Revanth
reddy hands over the
electricity bill collection in
telangana to @AdaniOnline on a platter! 25% of
electricity Bills collected to go into Adani’s kitty! This is nothing but daylight robbery! Does this have your sanction @RahulGandhi Ji? Were you
shadow boxing with
adani group during the recent elections? What’s
congress Party’s stand on surrendering public utilities to corporates like Adani? Also hope@asadowaisi is taking note of how their newest friend is trying to stereotype Old City citizens! Is this the respect
congress party has towards Old City residents? If
congress is really giving free power under Gruha Jyothi, why is it even engaging a private
corporate company to collect domestic power bills in Hyderabad?” he asked on X.
