He tried to talk to the electricity department for 10 days, but they didn't listen.
So, he decided to take action.
He climbed electricity poles with his supporters and cut the power to the houses of three important officials in the electricity department.

The electricity department was not happy and filed a complaint against the MLA at the police station.
