"I do not have all the answers as to how the failure occurred but I do know that we cannot simply band-aid over what ever problem is found. The root of the problem is not what part of the system failed today but the system itself. "
"Instead of delivering essential services to expand business and strengthen the private sector we have unfortunately created a power delivery system that favors only the constituencies of the political parties in our states. Power regulations are fragmented and compliance is difficult. We must urgently pursue reform in the same way that we reformed the license raj back in 1994. We must not let this crises be an excuse for inaction. The people of India deserve more. We must tap into foreign investment and our politicians must not fear change and reform."
