GG News Bureau
Lucknow, 25th Dec. Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Friday promised regular and cheap power supply for agricultural, domestic and industrial purposes if voted to power in upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls.
Targeting the BJP government in a tweet, Yadav said, “Had the proposed power plants in Etah and other districts been built, the people of Uttar Pradesh would not have been compelled to buy electricity at the highest rate in the country”.
“When the SP government takes over, we reiterate our resolve to provide more relief than anticipated and regular cheap electricity to agriculture, households, industries and businesses,” the SP chief added.
UP Energy Minister Shrikant Sharma refuted the allegations made by Yadav and alleged that the previous Samajwadi Party government increased electricity rates by over 60 per cent
There has been “no increase” in electricity rates in the Yogi Adityanath government, Sharma claimed.
“Electricity is being provided without any discrimination. Villages are getting more than 54 per cent electricity,” the UP Energy Minister said.
