Kolhapur: Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan on Friday said that there is no link between the proposed nuclear power plant in Jaitapur and the current power crisis in the state.
"It would take 10 years to raise Jaitapur power project and there is no link between the proposed project and the current load shedding in the state," he said.
His comments come in the backdrop of Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray dubbing the power outages as a "political move" by the Congress-NCP alliance government to impose Jaitapur nuclear power project in Maharashtra.
"Yes, it can be a political move as we are opposing the Jaitapur project. Similarly, the nuclear projects are opposed in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. Even the governments there are supporting the people who are opposing the project," Uddhav had said.
"We are also going to enquire about coal shortage situation," Chavan said.
Replying to a query about the Shetakari Sangathana demanding more price for sugarcane, Chavan said, "This issue will be settled through talks."
