Harish Rao termed the 4,000 MW Yadadri project as the largest State-run thermal plant in independent India. He asserted that Chandrashekhar Rao transformed Telangana from a power-deficit state into a power-surplus one and criticised those attempting to erase the BRS chief’s legacy.

He said the Yadadri project stands as an indelible mark of Chandrashekhar Rao’s vision and urged the government to expedite completion of the remaining unit in the interest of farmers and future electricity demand.
