Lucknow:
The Uttar Pradesh government on Thursday ordered round-the-clock power supply to the constituencies represented by Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, his father and Samajwadi Party (SP) president Mulayam Singh Yadav and cabinet minister Azam Khan.
According to well-placed sources, the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) has been directed to ensure that Kannauj, Mainpuri and Rampur get 24x7 power supply.
Kannauj sent Akhilesh to parliament thrice and Mulayam Singh represents Mainpuri in the Lok Sabha. Azam Khan, the parliamentary affairs minister, has been elected as a legislator from Rampur.
Etawah, the native place of Mulayam Singh, has also been exempted from power cuts.
During Mayawati's tenure, these districts barely received 10 hours of power.
