Union Power Minister R K Singh refuted claims of power crisis looming large in the country and said that there is no need for pc as there is no power crisis, adding that there is enough coal reserve for power production in the country.Speaking to Union Power Minister R K Singh said, "The first thing I want to say is that this pc was unnecessarily created without any reason, the pc was created because the CMD of GAIL has sent a message to Bawana gas power plant that it will stop supplying gas after 2 days because their contract was about to expire. I've asked GAIL CMD, who participated in today's meeting, to continue the required supplies and warn both DISCOM CEO and GAIL CMD that such a thing should not repeat and if such irresponsible behaviors happen then we will take action."Singh reacted sharply to Congress' criticism over the issue and said, "They do not have issues, create any issue so trying to create issues but we are supplying as much power as need and we will continue to do so, there should be no doubt, tell us we give as much power as to where they won't tell me, this is unnecessary politics," R K Singh saidSingh further attacked the Congress and said, "This Congress party's wind that has gone slowly dying out, they don't have any issue, that's why they create an issue and as far as Kejriwal's question is concerned, they don't even know if there is any problem then know from power Ministry or tell us.""We have an average coal reserve (at power stations) that can last for more than 4 days. The stock is replenished every day.
