Jagga blames former CMs for power crisis

Government Whip T Jayprakash Reddy alias Jagga Reddy blamed former Chief Ministers for the ongoing energy crisis in the State.

Talking to reporters in the Assembly premises, Jagga Reddy said that the present crisis was the result of lack of foresight by former Chief Ministers. He said N Kiran Kumar Reddy assumed charge as the Chief Minister about two years ago while the power crisis was in existence for over two decades. He said it was wrong to blame Kiran Kumar Reddy for the mistakes committed by his predecessors.

Jagga Reddy also condemned the criticism on the Chief Minister by the opposition parties for the power crisis. He said that the opposition parties were not ready to listen to the clarification given by Kiran Kumar Reddy in the Legislative Assembly. However, he said by criticising the State Government, the opposition parties were trying to take political mileage.

The Sangareddy MLA also denied reports that several Congress MPs and MLAs were planning to join the TRS. He said that the Congress Party would return to power in 2014 elections and would more number of seats compared to 2009 elections.
