Energy Minister Khadka is working against the law: MP Sapkota

Madhav Sapkota, a member of parliament of the main opposition Maoist Center, has said that Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation Minister Deepak Khadka is working against the rules and laws by arguing with the Nepal Electricity Authority since awarding contracts for large power projects.

In the meeting of the Infrastructure Development Committee under the House of Representatives on Wednesday, MP Sapkota said that Minister Khadka is working against the law even to give the country's largest and commercially attractive hydropower project. He said that Minister Khadka has acted against the law in relation to Kimathanka Arun Project, Jagdulla Hydropower, Mugu Karnali Hydropower Project etc.

'How Jagdullah came up with the issue of hydropower and choosing its construction company . It has also appeared in the national news media. The construction company related to that took the case to the authority. The minister called the eight competing construction companies in his office. He also called the CEO of Jagdulla Hydropower Company and said that seven companies would be backed and only one company had to qualify,' MP Sapkota said, 'To make a decision like the 1902 MW Mugu Karnali Hydropower Project and the 454 MW Kimathanka Arun Project by mixing up the rules is like a robbery. Tried . It has now been canceled in a way after all-round pressure across the country.' Sapkota also said that Minister Khadka is arguing with the Executive Director of the Electricity Authority, Kulman Ghising, which will harm the honor of the country. "In the meantime, in order to show the honor of the state, the minister has taken Kulmanji to the Electricity Authority and set up a working room for the minister," Sapkota said.
