D K Shivakumar, Congress' Karnataka unit chief and a former energy minister in state, h on Friday said, "Union Power Minister must answer as to how Central government can claim that Rewa Solar Park (750 MW) opened today is Asia's largest when clearly Pavaga Park in Karnataka is much larger (2,000 MW) and was opened two years back!"
