Revanth Reddy’s 3 Hours of Electricity Promise: An Outdated Relic in a State with Stable Power

Telangana, India – November 11, 2023: Amidst Telangana’s improving power infrastructure and consistent electricity supply, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) chief Revanth Reddy’s promise to provide 3 hours of electricity to the people of Telangana has become an outdated relic, bearing little relevance to the state’s current energy landscape. While Reddy’s commitment to ensuring adequate electricity supply is commendable, his focus on a specific timeframe of 3 hours appears incongruous with the state’s current power surplus.

In recent years, Telangana has made significant strides in enhancing its power generation capacity and strengthening its transmission and distribution network. These efforts have resulted in a stable power supply across the state, with minimal power cuts and disruptions. The state’s power surplus has even led to the sale of excess electricity to neighboring states.

Given this context, Reddy’s promise of 3 hours of electricity seems like an outdated approach to addressing a non-existent problem. The state’s current power situation demands a more comprehensive and forward-thinking strategy that focuses on optimizing energy consumption, promoting renewable energy sources, and enhancing grid stability.

Reddy’s insistence on a specific timeframe of 3 hours raises questions about his understanding of Telangana’s current power situation. It suggests a disconnect between his promise and the reality on the ground. Instead of fixating on an arbitrary number, Reddy should focus on ensuring that the state’s power infrastructure remains robust and efficient to meet the evolving energy needs of its citizens.

As Telangana moves towards a more sustainable and reliable energy future, Reddy’s promise of 3 hours of electricity appears to be a relic of the past, a promise that is no longer relevant to the state’s current power realities. The state’s focus should be on maintaining a stable and sustainable electricity supply for all, rather than fixating on outdated promises that do not align with the current power landscape.

Harish Rao: Congress party deserves credit for converting free electricity scheme into new electricity

Hyderabad, August 13: Telangana Finance Minister Harish Rao on Saturday said that the Congress party deserves credit for converting the free electricity scheme into new electricity.

Rao was speaking at a press conference in Hyderabad. He said that the Congress party had introduced the free electricity scheme in Telangana in 2004. However, the scheme was not sustainable and the state was facing a severe power crisis.

Rao said that the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government had taken steps to convert the free electricity scheme into new electricity. The government had invested heavily in power generation and transmission infrastructure. As a result, the state is now self-sufficient in power and is even exporting power to other states.

Rao said that the Congress party is now trying to take credit for the TRS government’s achievements. He said that the Congress party had no right to take credit for the free electricity scheme because it was the TRS government that had made it sustainable.

Rao said that the Congress party is only interested in power politics. It is not interested in the welfare of the people. He said that the TRS government is committed to the welfare of the people and will continue to provide free electricity to the farmers and the poor.

Congress party hits back at Harish Rao

The Congress party has hit back at Harish Rao for his comments. The party has said that Rao is trying to mislead the people.

Congress spokesperson Sravan Dasoju said that the free electricity scheme was introduced by the Congress party in 2004. He said that the scheme was a great success and it had benefited the people of Telangana immensely.

Dasoju said that the TRS government is trying to take credit for the Congress party’s scheme. He said that the TRS government has not done anything to improve the power situation in the state.

Dasoju said that the Congress party will continue to fight for the rights of the people. The party will not allow the TRS government to take credit for its achievements.
