The unscheduled power cuts and its impact on water supply has disrupted normal life of the people in the Vijaypur, he said, adding appealed the Government to look into the issue and resolve the issue as early as possible.
"They should not test patience of the people. Instead, the department and especially BJP should give focus towards the suffering of the people. People have not voted to power forever. They have again to face people after completing six years in Government," he reminded BJP about its duty.
