During a recent assembly session focused on introducing a white paper on electricity, the topic of Telangana’s pre-2014 energy landscape became a focal point of contention. Minister Shridhar Babu took the opportunity to challenge assertions made by BRS members and Jagadish Reddy. He firmly stated that the belief propagated by some, suggesting that Telangana was devoid of electricity before 2014, is far from accurate.
Highlighting historical context, Babu emphasized a pivotal fact: it was the preceding Congress-led government that took substantial strides in ensuring consistent electricity supply to the region. By making this assertion, Babu aimed to dispel any misconceptions and set the record straight about the efforts and achievements related to electricity infrastructure in Telangana prior to the state’s formation.
In addressing these claims and providing historical clarity, Babu’s intervention underscores the significance of accurate representation and understanding of the region’s developmental milestones, especially concerning essential services like electricity.
