Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala on Saturday accused the Kerala government of hiking the electricity tariff “to benefit ports-to-energy conglomerate Adani” by bringing it into the power purchase system in the state.
Chennithala alleged that the long-term power purchase agreement signed during the UDF administration in 2016 to buy electricity at rates below Rs 5 per unit was cancelled during the LDF rule to facilitate the entry of Adani into this system.
