Ulterior motive in UDF govt. push for power purchases from private trading platform overriding KSEB objection: Elamaram Kareem
UDF government is urging the state electricity board to buy 500 MW of power through the private GNA Energy over‑the‑counter platform at ₹8.63 per unit, despite the board’s objections. KSEB estimates the deal would increase its significant financial burden by about ₹727 crore. The claim was made by CPI(M) leader Elamaram Kareem, reported by The Hindu today.
