BJP Chief Slams TVK Government Over Low Voltage Problems
There is a state in India called Tamil Nadu.
A political leader named Nainar Nagenthran is upset with the state government.
He says the government is not managing electricity well.
Because of this, homes are getting very weak electric power, called low voltage.
Weak power can damage things like refrigerators and televisions.
Many small businesses are also being hurt by the problem.
Nagenthran says the government has not fixed the issue even after summer ended.
He wants the electricity minister, Nirmal Kumar, to take real action.
He also says the government has not done well in its first 100 days in office.

He alleged low voltage damaged household appliances such as refrigerators and televisions from Chennai to Coimbatore.
Nagenthran claimed electrical equipment worth several crores of rupees was damaged, affecting small and micro enterprises.
He said the government failed to address the power situation even after the summer season had ended.
