Mumbai, Apr 16 (UNI) Maintaining his stand on power scenario in Maharashtra, state energy minister Dilip Walse-Patil today said with the implementation of additional private and public projects in the state, it will be self-reliant by 2012.

However, not satisfied with his reply, the Opposition members staged a walkout, arguing that the minister's reply was not showing any immediate measures to solve the power crunch.
