What happened
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) claims that mismanagement by the Congress government has led to an acute power crisis in Telangana despite the state having coal reserves. BRS leaders stated that thermal power stations were facing severe coal shortages, leading to units operating below capacity or shutting down. Rama Rao accused the current government of failing to maintain the infrastructure created during the previous BRS regime.
