Why does the Indian Govt and its agencies make ridiculous denials about matters that are so glaringly obvious? Is it a matter of not wanting to take corrective action or have Indians superseded the Chinese in an extreme desire to “save face”.
Have these people no shame in purporting to live by “Satyamev Jayate” (Truth Prevails) and then turning around to do the exact opposite. Close on the heels of the number of Covid deaths where the Indian Govt figures were exposed to the world, is now a pronouncement of “Coal shortage, what coal shortage?” From The Cable: Union Minister of State for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Bhanu Pratap Singh Verma on May 5 claimed that there was no shortage of coal across the country. FactCheckerreferred to official data and records to assess its validity and found that 40 of the 109 “critical” power plants (36.7%) have less than two days’ coal stock, and 34 plants have 2-4 days’ coal for generation.
