Bengaluru: It was not a good day for engineers responsible for power supply to the Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru.
Today was the day of the budget presentation - and for a couple of minutes there was no power supply in the Assembly. Rather embarrassing, especially in a state that has publicly struggled with supplying power to its people.
The power was soon restored and the proceeding went on.
Bengaluru often faces hours of power cuts as capital of a power-deficient state. Promises have been made, including by Mr Shivakumar that these power cuts will stop. The outage at the seat of legislature in the state was clearly not intended, but it was a costly couple of minutes for those in charge.
