Karnataka’s Deputy Chief Minister and KPCC chief D K Shivakumar invited BRS chief K Chandrashekhar Rao and its working president K T Rama Rao to Karnataka to come along with ministers of the state to see the implementation of guarantees promised by the Congress during the assembly polls.
“We will take them on a bus tour,” he remarked.
He made the remarks while speaking at the Congress ‘Vijayabheri Yatra’ held in Tandur on Saturday, October 28.
Responding to the recent remarks of KTR on power supply in Karnataka, he said, “With Gruhaa Jyoti 200 units of power is being supplied for free, to all households in Karnataka. We’ve upheld our promises in Karnataka. But has KCR fulfilled the promises he made over the last decade?” he asked.
Shivakumar referred to his tenure as minister of Energy from 2014 to 2018 and showed Karnataka’s leap from generating 10,000 MW to 23,000 MW of power, stating, “In Karnataka, we’ve increased our power generation from 10,000 MW to 23,000 MW. In the past four years, the BJP government failed to provide power, but we offer 5 hours of electricity to every farmer during drought and are committed to providing 7 hours across the state.”
