EPS accuses TVK govt of ₹35/unit power procurement scam

AIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami accused Tamil Nadu's TVK government of corruption in power procurement, alleging short-term contracts awarded to private firms at ₹35/unit — nearly double earlier rates. He flagged frequent power cuts, surging consumer bills from ₹1,500 to ₹4,000, and warned the mismanagement could push TNPDC deeper into debt.
