Actually, scratch all that and have a judicial system that dispenses justice in less than a year. When you effectively don't have a legal system - the number of people willing to fight out injustice and govt apathy is negligible. If you know I'll get justice in about a year or so, there's so much more incentive for people to stand up for themselves

They have doubled And at the same time, they asked for the back pay which a year or three years ago, we may have been used At that time they got transmission losses or generation costs were high, so they are now charging at the current bill And sometimes they suddenly add falana,dimka no charges Without notifying the customer

The Union has already capped the amount of debt a state can take under the Fiscal Responsibility and Budgetary Management (FRBM) Act. Recently, Kerala went to the Supreme Court against this limit because it couldn't pay employee salaries and wanted to take on more debt, which the Center refused since Kerala had already exceeded its limit for the current fiscal year. The Center argued in the Supreme Court that Kerala's financial woes were due to its mismanagement and reckless spending, an assessment even the Court agreed with. The Center also mentioned that allowing Kerala's request would set a precedent for other states. However, after the Supreme Court requested consideration of Kerala's case as special, the Center agreed to let Kerala borrow an additional ₹23,200 crore. However, this amount will be deducted from Kerala's share of the divisible pool in future fiscal years.

And the fact that nor the central government nor courts tried to rectify these situations by taking strong actions on the bad governance in AP .... During 2019-2024 is sad reality of our country. Democracy doesn't just mean vote once in 5 years and that elected government is free to do whatever they want. There has to be checks and proceedures that had to be followed such that public interest and fiscal health of the governments is maintained and protected. People were protesting, press freedom was lost, government was mis handling funds without any economic discipline and the burden has to be ultimately paid by the tax payers, common people as well as the future generations. THIS IS WRONG. Something, some kind of neutral authority enforcing regulation based on certain qualitative parameters is necessary to keep all these governments in check... Whether it's state government or central government. It's pathetic to see how a democratic country like India is even allowing such a gross mishandling of power and resources by incompetent, malicious and foolish individuals like Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy. At least in the past, never there was a governance so badly managed such as the YSRCP government. It's very sad. Every party no matter Left, Right or centre have always managed things at a decent level (although subpar), and all of the governments of different parties were performing more or less similar. But this is something no one has ever seen. And all these damages incurred in power sector in AP by YSRCP government is done in just last 5 years alone.... Which is more than double to the nrpet cumulative losses incurred by the state in it's entire history..!! How come, a the power sector in AP which was running on energy surplus in terms of electricity in 2018 came to such a pathetic state of buying power at significantly high prices and yet not able to even operate without borrowing loans or even having unpaid bills/arrears from the state government itself !!! This is lowest of the low!!

APTRANSCO actually increased its profit accumulation by about 100%. I wonder how difficult is it for such a "professional" team to read a simple balance sheet. Anything in brackets indicates a minus or a loss. Anything without brackets is positive or profit. So transco didn't really lose money. Because they have very little to do with energy sales. You don't need to be an expert to understand this.

its the AAP that is responsible. Actually, there has to be a base rate established in India.

Same is the story in Karnataka where the incumbent govt is 100 times more inefficient and probably corrupt too. My electricity bill inflation is 60% after May 2023 and face much more power cuts now. And Rahul Gandhi wants to replcate this damaging economic policy in entire India. Caste and freebies are two things on which Congress has marginally improved their performance and it is a shame on Congress which has gifted India with liberalisation and reforms of 1991.of course now Congress is filled with communists and has destroyed its legacy.

If you are discussing numbers in thousands of crores, pls consider sticking to say, 55 thousand crores rather than 55,233 crores for example. No further insights gained by giving the exact number…Same thing for dates, Month and Year of an event is good enough, not much use saying 15 June, 1976….

Nah that is a part of his style of journalism, you see giving more precision makes him feel more authentic

How did Covid 19 affect these numbers and how does it relate to numbers across other states ? That would have provided a better measure of performance. Sadly there is no analysis just explanation of the paper, which I guess folks who are interested could have read themselves.

Anything that is free is missed used and abused! Why free at all…nothing comes free. Govt needs to pull off all freebies and provide work for entire cross section of working population and help them work and pay for the services utilised ! We are only growing people to get lazy and drink away with these freebies! And one cannot giveaway money contributed by less than 10% of the people to the rest ! This is the crux of all financial problems in d country

AP power production as on 31st March 2024 is 29.11 GWatt, 7th largest producer. After Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, TN, Karnataka, UP. UP state 4 times bigger than AP is very close to AP in power production. Bigger states like West Bengal, MP, Bihar are far below AP in power production. AP started very large Solar power project at Gummidam thanda in Kurnool dist. Only state Rajasthan later started world's largest solar power in the desert area. I do not think high rates for electricity compared to many states. Only for political reasons it is unfair to make publicity on the wrong side project

@11:00 Power is definitely lost in transmission sir! Due to line resistance over long distances; 5to 7% is acceptable range for this loss internationally 9 % loss in the state implies only about 3% to 4 is loss is unaccounted for

i’m always confused - states announce themselves revenue surplus like delhi, madhya pradesh. Then you have data like Andhra. is there an objective assessment which can point out how every state is doing economically?
