BJP Criticizes AAP Government Over Prolonged Power Outages in Punjab
BJP Punjab state general secretary Anil Sarin criticized the Aam Aadmi Party government over prolonged power outages despite reported coal stocks at 117% of the state's normal requirement. Sarin alleged that the issue stems from generation and management failures, citing several thermal plants operating below capacity and five units remaining non-operational for about 20 days. He demanded transparency on plant-wise generation, coal availability, and operational status, rejecting the AAP's claims blaming the central government for the power crisis.
