The Tamil Nadu opposition has mounted a fresh attack on the state government's handling of the power crisis, with AIADMK leader R.B. Udhayakumar claiming the administration has shown a lackadaisical approach to managing surging electricity demand. Since the TVK government assumed office, Tamil Nadu has experienced extended periods of power cuts that have disrupted daily life across the state, according to opposition statements. Udhayakumar specifically highlighted the impact on students, noting that the frequent blackouts have created additional hardship for those preparing for the upcoming quarterly examinations. The power crisis has become a contentious political issue, with opposition parties questioning the government's capacity to meet the state's energy requirements. The TVK government has not yet issued a formal response to the allegations regarding power management and supply inadequacies.
