A new kind of 'power struggle' is palpable in Lucknow, as Energy Minister AK Sharma has unexpectedly criticised his own government, raising serious questions over the decision to privatise Purvanchal and Dakshinanchal power companies.
Taking to his official social media handle X, Sharma stressed that such major decisions are not made unilaterally by the minister, but with full approval of the state's task force led by the Chief Secretary. The minister, in a statement, also claimed that the decision over the privatisation of DISCOMs was made at the highest level of state government.
