Chandigarh : The Punjab Congress and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Thursday targeted the Bhagwant Mann government for power cuts in the state.
Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring took a jibe at the CM, telling him that he must have realised by now that governance is a real challenge and not a laughter challenge. Warring posted on his social media platforms an old video clip of Mann in which he is seen describing the shortage of electricity in Punjab in his characteristic satirical style. “Now that you are at the helm of affairs yourself and you are already aware of the problem, what stops you from sorting this out?” the Congress leader asked Mann.
Asking the CM to spell out his plan to tackle the power crisis, he said the government has not taken any initiative as to how it will overcome the shortage and also how it will supply uninterrupted power to the agriculture sector in the ensuing paddy season. He said in case immediate remedial measures are not taken, the Congress will have to come on streets.
