UP Power Minister’s ‘Jai Shri Ram’ Response to Electricity Woes Sparks Outrage

Residents of Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh, are facing severe power shortages, receiving only three hours of electricity per day. When they voiced their concerns to Energy Minister Arvind Kumar Sharma, they were met with an unexpected response: chants of “Jai Shri Ram.”

Minister’s Response Fuels Public Anger

The minister’s seemingly dismissive reaction has sparked outrage and criticism. People struggling with the lack of power found the response inappropriate and unhelpful, further highlighting the disconnect between the government and the public’s needs.

Sharma Claims Power Supply Status Shared, Efforts Underway

Following the backlash, Minister Sharma took to X (formerly Twitter) to claim that the power supply status of Sultanpur had been shared with the public. He also stated that efforts are being made to address the increased power demand caused by low rainfall.

However, this explanation has done little to quell the public anger, with many questioning the government’s commitment to resolving the ongoing power crisis.
