BRS opposes Singareni power supply agreement with Rajasthan

The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has opposed the agreement to supply power generated at the Singareni Thermal Power Plant (STTP) to Rajasthan, urging Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to cancel the Joint Venture (JV) agreement immediately. The BRS claims that the 800 MW power generated at the plant should be used entirely for Telangana's power requirements, especially given the power shortages being faced by farmers.

The deputy leader, T. Harish Rao, also questions the rationale behind diverting nearly ₹22,000 crore from Singareni towards Rajasthan's development and alleges that the government has failed to ensure adequate power supply to farmers despite its promise of 24-hour electricity.
