Former minister and senior BRS leader T. Harish Rao has alleged that farmers were not being given even 12-hour power supply a day at a stretch, leave alone government claims of round-the-clock supply.

Speaking during a surprise visit to the Motakondur sub-station in Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri district on Sunday, he sought to know why the log books to record supply timings were not being kept in the sub-stations. He stated that the staff of the sub-station had hidden the log book on the directions of the ruling party leaders fearing that it would reveal facts about power supply to the farm sector.

He asked Congress MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy and Alair MLA Beerla Ilaiah to come to any sub-station during the night for a debate on power supply to the farm sector. He sought to know why the Congress leaders, who spoke about log books repeatedly when in Opposition, were silent now.

Criticising the Congress Government for resorting to diversion politics by talking about his family’s properties, Mr. Harish Rao stated that all his properties were disclosed in the 2018 and 2023 election affidavits and income tax returns.
