Payment of electricity bill is not the proof of tenancy. However you can contact some advocate who can makeout some case in your favour.

Electricity connection is in whose name? In your name or your landlord's name? If its in your name then you can have an additional ground to prove your tenancy rest contact a local lawyer.

No, payment of electricity bill is no evidence to prove tenancy.
It would be advisable to consult a local prudent lawyer with relevant records for better appreciation of facts, guidance and proceeding.
