Uttar Pradesh buying power at Rs 22 per unit, says Yogi Adityanath
Uttar Pradesh Chief minister Yogi Adityanath has said that in this festive season, his government was buying electricity at a cost up to Rs 22 per unit from outside sources because he did not wish to dampen the spirit of festivals.
Yogi Adityanath said that on normal days the same power was purchased at Rs 7 per unit.
Uttar Pradesh has been facing power crisis due to coal shortage.
The chief minister, for the first time, admitted to the crisis while addressing party workers at a programme initiated by the BJP to reach out to the OBC community ahead of the UP assembly polls.
