Satheesan, Pinarayi trade sharp words over power supply deals in Keralam

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM The Opposition Left Democratic Front (LDF) has again challenged Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan to make public all documents related to his decision to opt for electricity supply from GNA Energy OTC over a Himachal Pradesh government offer, even as Mr. Satheesan maintained that the decision was taken after careful examination of both proposals. The then KSEB Chairman and Managing Director M.G.

Rajamanickam’s note to the government had said that the GNA proposal “also can be considered,” Mr. Satheesan said on Saturday. “Is the Leader of the Opposition (Pinarayi Vijayan), who continues to criticise the decision to procure electricity via GNA, unaware of this note? Or is he feigning ignorance?” the Chief Minister said.

‘Deepening confusion’ Earlier on Saturday, Mr. Vijayan accused the Chief Minister of fleeing from the charges levelled against him by the Opposition and deepening the mystery and confusion over the power purchase proposals.
