Bengaluru: Energy Minister D K Shivakumar said that the BJP led government in the centre is playing politics in supplying coal to Karnataka.
Addressing the media, Shivkumar held Centre responsible for the existing coal crisis in the state.
He said that the centre is blocking Karnataka from procuring coal from other states like Maharashtra.
“It’s shocking the way the Centre is playing politics in this issue,” he said.
Shivakumar said that he would bring this topic during the upcoming conference of Energy Ministers from all over the country in New Delhi on December 6 and 7.
He however said that almost all states in the country had been hit by the shortage in coal supply.
