Video: UP minister’s ‘Jai Shri Ram’ reply to locals sharing electricity woes

Uttar Pradesh’s energy minister, Arvind Kumar Sharma, faced criticism after responding to electricity complaints in Sultanpur with religious chants instead of direct answers. Locals reported receiving only three hours of power daily. Sharma later claimed on X that the district’s power supply status had been shared and that efforts were underway to meet increased demand due to low rainfall.
