Lucknow,

22 May (H.S.): Opposition parties the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj

Party slammed the BJP administration in Uttar Pradesh on Friday over the

state's reported power crisis, demanding prompt action to enhance energy supply

in the public interest. In a post on X in Hindi, Samajwadi Party President

Akhilesh Yadav criticized the administration for the power deficit and alleged

inability to increase generation capacity.

Setting

up new power plants was neither within your (BJP) capabilities nor the realm of

your restricted thinking. At the very least, you could have yelled '3x660

Supercritical Thermal Power Plant'; just hearing it would have provided some

solace to those suffering from the blistering heat, according to Yadav. He said

that under the BJP administration in Uttar Pradesh, only demand and prices for

energy are growing, not supply. He claimed that IBJP control had made UP

miserable.

Mayawati,

the BSP president, also expressed worry over poor power supplies and frequent

interruptions during the hot summer months. In a post on X, she stated that

concerns about inadequate power supply and electrical outages were common in

highly populated states like Uttar Pradesh during the busy summer season. She

stated that the circumstances had made life incredibly tough, particularly for

the poor, middle class, farmers, small business owners, and other workers. Mayawati

stated that people were expressing their outrage, and the topic was still

receiving considerable media coverage.

She

urged the administration to take quick action to alleviate the challenges and

inconveniences that people were experiencing as a result of power outages. She

urged the administration to address the power supply situation by building

additional power plants and taking other required actions in the greater public

interest.
