The BJP Telangana leaders are raising their voice strongly against the alleged irregularities in purchase of power by the government at very high rates. They say that the TRS government bought power at Rs 5.5 per unit in open court though the government power companies are offering at just Rs 4.5. Why is BJP targeting TRS Regime in such a big way especially on the energy sector.

No ruling TRS leaders are openly countering the BJP charges considering the sensitive nature of the issue. However, Transco and Genco CMD D Prabhakar Rao has begun issuing counters to BJP on behalf of the TRS. This has enraged the rivals and BJP State President K Laxman asked whether Prabhakar Rao has taken membership of the TRS party. In his turn, Prabhakar Rao said that the power companies are ready to face even a CBI enquiry to prove that they have not indulged in any irregularities in power purchases.

The BJP leaders are now taking advantage of this challenge and they started efforts to get a CBI enquiry ordered by Modi government. Political circles are full of rumours that this controversy is going to give really deep trouble to the KCR Circar. The BJP is effectively using the CBI to cripple other parties governments in different states. It happened in Andhra as CBI targetted TDP leaders prior to 2019 election.
