After the rule of one month the stand up comedian turned MP n then chief minister of Punjab Bhagwant Maan has today announced to fulfil his another pre election promise of giving three hundred units free electricity to the people of Punjab after two earlier announcements of giving 25000 jobs to the unemployed youths of Punjab from June and regularising the services of 35 thousand contractual or temporary employees of Punjab Government.
This three hundred units free electricity on monthly basis scheme will be come into effect from 1st July.
In his announcement today, the Punjab CM has catagorically said that the pre election announcements made by the national AAP convenor and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal n him are being implemented gradually and in the history of Indian politics no government has ever fulfilled its promises so early as the Punjab government did.
He has also released his government’s one month report card in which he has enumerated about the thirteen points of works fulfilled by his government.
Apart from these concessions, the Aam Admi Party has also assured the voters of Punjab women to deliver Rs 1000 each to women above eighteen years in the near future.
About one thousand crore Rupees will be spent on the monthly electricity concession scheme in Punjab annually.
According to the Punjab government’s one month report card the Punjab government has started an anti corruption help line number, regularisation of services of 35000 contractual employees, dispatching rations house to house, stopping the increase in fees in private school including not to buy stationary n books from school by parents, bringing into force an anti gangster task force to counter the criminal activities and bringing peace and amity in the society ensuring safety and security of women, maintaining law and order, release of more than Rs 101 crores for providing relief to farmers, assuring farmers to buy their entire produce by government, withdrawal of extra security from lawmakers, allocation of Rs 1000 crores for development of rural areas through Rural Area Development Fund and putting of the pictures of Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar and Shaheed Bhagat Singh in all government offices etc.
In a tweet Punjab CM Bhagwant Maan wrote : Congratulations to all Punjabies ! Every family will now get free electricity on 300 units every month from 1 st July. We are fulfilling our pre election guarantees. We’ll be fulfilling every guarantee one by one. Now, the public exchequer will be spend for the people’s convenience n facilities tweeted Punjab CM Mann.
Delhi CM Arvind Kejrival too tweeted : From July 1 Punjab’s people will get 300 units electricity free. What we promised have been fulfilled and the remaining assurances will be fulfilled in the near future. Opposition parties are opposing because they do not want the corrupt system to change. But we will change the system tweeted Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.
However, inspite all these freebies in Punjab it still remains to be seen whether Punjab CM Bhagwant Maan restores the courage to revoke the earlier decision of free electricity being given to farmers of Punjab owning more than ten hectares of farms as AAP had in its pre election promises announced that it will revoke this decision after coming to power. This decision of AAP government will help recover about Rs 349 crores that could be compensated against the financial burden being faced by the state government in granting various concessions.
Holy cow !
After 1or 2 years he will be removed from CM post and Kejriwal will make Raghav Chadda CM. Thats the plan
Yeah may be. Sounds perfect.
