SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal today asked Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh to save Punjabis from power cuts and questioned him if the agreements done during the Akalis’ tenure were faulty these could have been terminated.
He tweeted: “Regarding your new rant on the SAD govt’s power agreements, 4.5 years is a long time to scrap any agreement. Who stopped/stops you? Do anything but save Punjabis from long unbearable power cuts and bills. But it seems you want to be remembered for ‘bijlee mehangi, bijlee gull’.”
In another tweet, he said, “Those who plunged Punjab into darkness are blaming power cuts on those who made the state power-surplus. As Parkash Singh Badal took over in 2007, Punjab was used to 16 hours daily cuts. He took three years to make it power surplus-exactly the time u have taken to push it back into darkness”. — TNS
