YSRCP Smart Meters Scam: వైఎస్సార్సీపీ ఐదేళ్లపాలనలో స్మార్ట్దోపిడీపై ఆడిట్ చేపట్టాలను కూటమి ప్రభుత్వం నిర్ణయించింది. జగన్ హయాంలో అస్మదీయ కంపెనీ షిర్డీసాయికి అడ్డగోలుగా చెల్లింపులు చేసినట్లు ప్రభుత్వం గుర్తించింది. ఎలాంటి తనిఖీ లేకుండా 1,828 కోట్ల రూపాయలు చెల్లించడమే కాకుండా ఆ సంస్థ కోసం టెండరు నిబంధనల్లోనూ మార్పుల చేసిన వ్యవహారంపై విచారణ చేపట్టేందుకు ప్రభుత్వం యోచిస్తోంది.

00:00In the state, the NDA government is preparing to settle the accounts of agricultural smart meters in the YCP government.
00:08In part, it seems that the withdrawal of the bills in the past five years in terms of discounts has been fully audited by the purchasers.
00:16The Jagan government has arranged smart meters for 18,58,000 agricultural wide connections in the state.
00:22For the smart meters, the Jagan-Asmatiya company has paid Rs. 5,692 crores as compensation to Shirdi Sai Electricals.
00:32The NDA government has been informed that the bills for the smart meters related to this project have been withdrawn by the purchasers without any clarity in the accounts of the smart meters.
00:42The purchasers of the smart meters have received discounts of Rs. 18,28 crores just a few months ago.
00:50The government feels that the enquiry has been conducted on this issue.
00:54For the smart meters related to the agricultural wide connections, the tender has been announced twice in 2022 and 2023.
01:00There are allegations that it has created problems for the agricultural wide connections.
01:05According to the agreement signed with the agricultural wide connections, 80% of the agricultural wide connections have been suspended within 14 days.
01:14The executive and engineer position officials have denied the suspension of the agricultural wide connections for 14 days.
01:19If it is delayed, they will take responsibility for the information provided by the purchasers and withdraw the entire bill in the agreement.
01:27The previous government has issued an order to withdraw the remaining 20% after the smart meters have been suspended.
01:33In this way, the authorities will have to submit the material suspended for the agricultural wide connections worth lakhs within 14 days.
01:41They feel that this order has been issued because they know that it is not possible.
01:46According to the tender called for the first time in 2021-22, 50% of the agricultural wide connections have been suspended.
01:5440% of the agricultural wide connections have been suspended after the smart meters have been suspended.
01:5610% of the agricultural wide connections have been suspended after the reading process has started.
02:02As a result, there is a gap in the withdrawal of the material.
02:05In this way, the government has made changes to the tender called for the second time.
02:11The previous government has issued guidelines for the smart meters for the agricultural wide connections in Jio-148.
02:18The meters have been allocated to 5,692 crores for the related areas.
02:23In total, the meters have been allocated 3,406 crores and 2,286 crores for the related areas.
02:31The state government is spending Rs. 4,069 crores from the central government.
02:36If the bills are sent to the discoms, the government has to pay them directly.
02:40But as the smart meter organization said that sending the bills is late, the discoms paid Rs. 18,28 crores.
02:48As a result, the discoms were heavily burdened.
