UP has not used electrification fund: Centre
Union Power Minister Piyush Goyal has criticised the Uttar Pradesh government for not using the funds sanctioned to it for rural electrification. UP was allocated ₹6,946 crore under Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gram Jyoti Yojana and ₹4,721 crore under another Scheme, the most for any state in the country, he said. In 2013-14, no village in UP was electrified, Goyal added.
