New Delhi, May 09 (ANI): Union Power Minister RK Singh on May 09 blamed Rajasthan and Jharkhand governments for creating the problem of the coal crisis for themselves. “Rajasthan is going through a coal crisis which has been created by itself. They have been given captive coal mines. If difficulty was created in mining, it was their own,” he said. “Similarly, Jharkhand has created its own issues. Our coal minister had to go there several times to sort out the issue. They owe thousands of crores to DVC. Electricity is not free, if you do not pay them, how will they provide it to you?” he added.
