Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati on Wednesday morning felt the pain of ‘losing power’ literally, as Greater Noida Electricity department disconnected the power supply of her mansion in Badalpur area due to non-payment of arrears.
As per news agency, a bill of Rs 67,000 had not been paid and a Power department spokesman said that the disconnection was done in a “routine exercise”.
However, Mayawati’s family members promptly deposited a sum of Rs 50,000 after which power supply was restored to the house.
A senior Power department official in Lucknow said that there was no politics in the incident. “We are disconnecting power supply wherever bills are pending and this was just one of the cases. Power supply was restored after the arrears were paid.”
