'BJP In, Power Out': AAP Attacks Rekha Gupta Government Over Electricity Supply Failures In Delhi

Delhi Power Cut: The AAP has slammed the BJP over frequent power outages in Delhi. Residents reported power cuts of over 20 hours in some areas.

After trying to corner the Rekha Gupta government on the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana, the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi is now attacking the BJP over alleged frequent power cuts. Residents of several areas, like Sangam Vihar, Chhatarpur Extension, Uttam Nagar, Rangpuri, and many others in Delhi, posted on X about the electricity supply failures.

Some residents even reported power cuts for over 20 hours, while others said that frequent power failures were being seen for the last 10

Author Huma Tanweer said: "It's frustrating to see Delhi -- the nation's capital, grappling with power cuts like a small town. In Chhatarpur Extension, electricity remains fine for 1-2 days after I tweet, then the blackouts resume... when will this cycle end?"

Following the complaints, former Delhi CM and AAP leader Atishi led a 'BJP In, Power Out' campaign. "As soon as the BJP government was formed in Delhi, the era of long power cuts has returned. The public is fed up and is now protesting on the streets," the AAP said.

AAP workers protesting at ITO against the frequent power cuts in Delhi. Reacting to this, Atishi said: "BJP is not able to fix the power cuts but is getting police action taken against those who speak out against it."

'Removed Inverters During Kejriwal's Tenure'

The AAP also shared a video where purported Delhi residents can be heard blaming the BJP government. "The party came, sought votes, and forgot us," a man said.

"We had removed our inverters during Arvind Kejriwal's government, but as soon as the BJP government came, power cuts started. Now we will have to buy inverters again. They have ruined Delhi," another resident said.
