However, today, the Andhra Pradesh state government has responded to this.
The government explained that all the propaganda about power cuts in AP was untrue.
Energy Secretary Nagulapalli Srikanth said that the campaign against power cuts in the state was not true.He said there was no situation of imposing power cuts in the state.
This shows that there is no power crisis in the state.
