Kerala Chief Minister V.D
Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan blamed the current power crisis on the cancellation of long-term contracts by the previous LDF government in May 2023, leading to higher electricity costs and shortages. He cited four reasons: contract cancellations, increased demand, low reservoir water levels due to poor monsoon, and nationwide high demand. The Chief Minister questioned why these contracts were cancelled, pointing out that CPI(M) leaders were on the Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission at the time. Published July 22, 2026.
