The SP chief made the appeal on the occasion of the former President’s death anniversary.

“Today, remembering former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam on his death anniversary, I request the BJP government of Uttar Pradesh to repair and re-energise the solar plant which was built in Kannauj during the SP government in the state. The plant has closed down due to lack of repairs,” Yadav said in a tweet in Hindi.

He also tagged a news report that mentioned Kalam’s visit to Kannauj 20 days before his death on July 27, 2015, during which he inaugurated the solar plant in the presence of Yadav.
