Union Energy Minister Goyal showers praise on UP CM for facilitating power supply in state

New Delhi, Apr 29 (IBNS): Union Energy Minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday showered praises on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for facilitating electric supply in India's largest state.

The minister took to Twitter to address the issue.

"Remarkable work by CM @myogiadityanath for energising Uttar Pradesh ahead to combat power shortages, in just one month of governance," his tweet read.

According to reports, Uttar Pradesh has witnessed a major surge in power consumption.

However, even with the high power consumption the average time of 'blackouts' has decreased from eight hours to two hours.

On Apr 11, the UP Chief Minister had ordered the state power ministry to provide power supply for at least 18 hours in villages and 20 hours in tehsils, following which a 'Power for All' document was signed on Apr 14.

Yogi Adityanath, a Hindu monk, took pledge as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh on Mar 19, earlier this year, after the Bharatiya Janata Party swept the Uttar Pradesh elections, crushing its opponents.

The saffron party had won 317 seats out of the 403 seats in the state.
