India, Dec. 4 -- The Rajya Sabha on Wednesday saw BJP MPs raise issues ranging from power infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh to banking services in Bihar during Zero Hour, while a Congress MP sought an increase in deposit insurance cover from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 25 lakh.
Raising the issue of rising power demand in Uttar Pradesh, BJP's Tejveer Singh said initiatives like smart city, data Centre parks and electric mobility have led to record power consumption in the State, creating a burden on meeting energy needs during peak demand hours in many districts.
He called for strengthening the transmission network and energy supply, giving priority to the expansion of the green grid in the State through solar parks and rooftop solar installations.
