Harish Rao, a leader from the BRS party, said the Congress government is making farmers sad by giving them electricity for only 12 hours a day.

He visited a power station and saw records showing this reduced supply.

He also said that the government is not taking care of the water system built by the previous government, causing water shortages in many areas.

The government, however, says there are no power cuts.
