Mumbai, Feb 21 (UNI) BJP spokesman Prakash Jawadekar today said Maharashtra, a power surplus state in September 1999, had a shortfall of 5,500 mw in 2007.

Talking to reporters here, Mr Jawadekar said Shiv Sena-BJP had made projections about the power scenario for 2007. but the then Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh and bureaucrat Madhav Godbole, in an affidavit, claimed the projection was wrong.
