Attacking the Center over the coal crisis, Chidambaram said, “Abundant coal, large rail network, untapped capacity in thermal plants, yet there is a huge power shortage. The central government cannot be blamed as it is because of 60 years of Congress rule.”

He quipped, “There is no inefficiency in the coal, railways or power ministries. The fault lies with the previous Congress ministers of the said departments.” In a series of tweets, the former Union minister said, “Government has found the right solution: cancel passenger trains and run coal-laden trains! Modi hai, mumkin hai.”
