Madhya Pradesh, currently a hotbed of political rivalry with bigwigs of the two national parties charging at each other, has its state power department facing an unusual problem. Since April 9, incidents of supply tripping, manual interruptions and sabotage of wires and transformers have increased significantly.
On April 29, there was no power supply for half an hour at the polling station in Chhindwara, when Chief Minister Kamal Nath had gone to cast his vote. While the Chief Minister cast his vote using lights on mobile phones, social media was buzzing with people cracking jokes on the incident.
