Former Minister and BRS LP Deputy Floor Leader Harish Rao expressed strong displeasure over Deputy CM Bhatti's statements. Namasthe Telangana reported that Harish Rao, on Wednesday, criticized Deputy CM Bhatti on 'X', stating that he evaded answering questions raised by the opposition by giving lame excuses and showing irrelevant papers. Harish Rao alleged that the Congress government imposed an additional burden of Rs. 5,420 crore on electricity consumers in the name of true-up charges. He questioned why there were protests at substations if the electricity supply was adequate.
