Keralam Electricity Minister’s speech cut short by power failure

Keralam's Electricity Minister, Sunny Joseph, experienced an interruption to his speech due to a recurring power failure at a function on Friday, September 11, 2026. The incident took place during the KSEB Officers’ Federation meeting, forcing Joseph to abandon his address. A video of the event has since gained popularity on social media platforms.
Joseph was discussing the former Chief Minister A.K. Antony's warning that the Electricity department was a "crown of thorns," and his efforts to transform it into a "floral crown." Following the power failure, Joseph informed reporters that the interruption was not part of the scheduled restrictions but a minor technical glitch.
He appealed to the public to cooperate with the power restrictions, which are currently in effect from 6 p.m. to 12.45 a.m. Joseph acknowledged that resolving the issue was not as simple as flipping a switch. Power restrictions are currently enforced in the state during the specified time frame.
