*Renew energy projects initiated under YSRCP*

Tadepalli, April 23: YSRCP has stated that the Coalition government is falsely claiming credit for ReNew Energy projects that were initiated during its tenure. Party state spokesperson Putha Siva Sankar stated that the projects were brought in under the leadership of Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and accused N. Chandrababu Naidu of indulging in credit politics.

Speaking to the media at the party central office, he said that agreements worth around Rs 97,000 crore were signed during the 2023 Global Investors Summit in Visakhapatnam. He added that land was allocated for ReNew projects in Anantapur and Sri Sathya Sai districts, and permissions were granted through government orders in 2023 and 2024 for wind and power projects.

He pointed out that ReNew CEO Sumant Sinha had earlier appreciated the support extended by the YSRCP government and publicly acknowledged the role of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. He alleged that after coming to power, the coalition government cancelled earlier government orders and reissued approvals under the same terms only to claim it as a new initiative.

He further said that the government is now laying foundation stones for expansion projects in Anakapalli and projecting them as its own achievements. He termed this as a clear example of credit theft and misleading the public.
