PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss on Tuesday challenged State Electricity Minister Thangam Thennarasu to prove his statement that three-phase electricity supply is being given for agricultural purposes continuously for 12-16 hours and it is reaching the last consumer in villages across Tamil Nadu.
He said the Tamil Nadu government must stop creating ‘false perceptions’ that it is doing so well when it comes to generating power and urged the State government to kickstart the power projects that are defunct for 17 years, which could generate 17, 340 MW on ‘war footing’.
In a statement, he said there was no truth whatsoever in the Minister’s statement and added that he was trying to ‘conceal a whole pumpkin inside rice’.
