[font=inherit][size=1]Private power plants made crores selling power to other states while half of the state was plunged into darkness during the last two months of agitations.[/size][/font][/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Lato, sans-serif][size=3]
In fact, one of the private plants that minted money is Lanco Power, owned by MP Lagadapati Rajagopal, who is spearheading United AP agitations. [font=inherit][size=1]Lanco Power, along with other private power plants like Reliance Energy, Spectrum Power, Vijjeswaram Gas and GVK Jegrupadu Gas Plant, made between Rs 50 crore and Rs 120 crore during the last two months.[/size][/font][/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Lato, sans-serif][size=3]
Spectrum Power generated an average of 2 MU per day, Reliance Energy an average of 1 MU per day, Lanco Power 3 MU per day, Vijjeswaram Gas 2 MU per day and GVK Jegrupadu an average of 2 MU per day.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Lato, sans-serif][size=3]
While the agitations over the last two months brought the entire state-owned power machinery to a standstill, sending half of the state into darkness, the private plants were busy generating power and selling the same to other states.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Lato, sans-serif][size=3]
Since none of these private players supply power to the state, the government-owned plants had to bear the brunt of the strikes.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Lato, sans-serif][size=3]
After the announcement of the Centre’s decision to create a Telangana state, the Seemandhra Electricity Employees went on a token strike for three days in the first week of August, demanding reversal of the decision.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Lato, sans-serif][size=3]
