LUCKNOW Taking a leaf from chief minister Yogi Adityanath’s playbook, state energy minister Arvind Kumar Sharma also took a swipe at Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav while responding to a question on power supply in the House.
On Wednesday, SP MLA Pankaj Malik asked the incumbent government about its stand on waiving off electricity bills for farmers to ensure adequate power for the agricultural sector. In response, Sharma said, “During the SP regime, regular power supply was limited to just one district. On the contrary, the BJP government is ensuring regular power supply across the state. Earlier, those who wanted to enjoy free power supply, cover from vigilance raids, and freedom from any scrutiny shifted to Etawah.”
