Bhopal, Oct. 15 -- Madhya Pradesh Congress president Jitu Patwari on Thursday alleged a power crisis across the state, claiming that several villages had been facing electricity outages for three to four consecutive days, while Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said the situation was expected to normalise within a day or two.

Patwari criticised the state government over alleged power cuts, high electricity bills and the absence of adequate monitoring of the electricity supply system.

"There is darkness in Madhya Pradesh. In villages, electric bulbs are not lighting up for three to four consecutive days. There is no one looking after the electricity supply system across the state," Patwari said.
