Gujarat Minister of state for Industry and Power Shri Saurabh Patel on Thursday attacked Congress for making baseless and false allegations of irregularities in power purchase.

Answering opposition leader’s allegations on state government’s alleged corrupt deals with Adani Enterprises, Minister said:”Don’t forget that it is Gujarat government’s PSU Gujarat Energy Development Limited that went to Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission(GERC) against Adani. Not only this but the leader of opposition must be knowing that – it is the central government that has given power to GERC for making decision on Power Purchase Agreement. Moreover the case is before GERC which is a judicial body and the state government is committed to work according to verdict of this body.”

“We don’t want any certificate from Congress people. G.S.P.C is leading gas research and distribution company. It provides gas to the people at their door step and also supplies CNG for fuel. The leader of opposition’s baseless allegations are laughable,” minister added.
