Kerala Government Faces Questions Over Power Purchase Deal with GNA Energy
Kerala's government faces scrutiny over its decision to purchase power from private firm GNA Energy instead of Himachal Pradesh, amid allegations of an artificial power crisis and lack of transparency. BJP leader V. Muraleedharan and CPI leader P. Rajeev have questioned the rationale and called for disclosure of tender processes and rates. The state power department currently sees no urgent shortage, leading to a likely deferment of the GNA Energy deal. Opposition parties allege corruption and favouritism, while officials emphasize ongoing reviews and cost considerations.
