Ahmedabad, 31 July 2012
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today took potshots at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh over the massive power failure in half of India and blackout over the last two days.
“With poor economic management, UPA has emptied pockets of common man, kept stomachs hungry with inflation & today pushed them into darkness!,” Modi wrote on twitter.
“Pradhan Mantri ji, 60 crore people & 19 states are in darkness. Country wants to know is there any coalition dharma you are following here too?,” he tweeted, apparently making a reference to the Prime Minister often citing “coalition constraints” for slow decision-making process.
Power supply was disrupted in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, West Bengal, Assam and Punjab, among other states.
