WITH the Centre pulling the Electricity Amendment Bill, 2020, out of cold storage and starting discussions with governments of different states on the issue, the Punjab government, as well as PPCC chief Sunil Kumar Jakhar, have objected to the Bill.
While the Punjab Additional Chief Secretary of Power, Anurag Aggarwal, on March 25 wrote a letter to the Secretary of Power, Government of India, that Punjab does not think the reform was a welcome step, Jakhar on Saturday tweeted to say that “Consultations on to bring Electricity amendment Bill 2020 in next Parl (Parliament) session! Going back on its promise to farmers @BJP4India govt will only enrage them further. This apparent bid to teach Punjab Farmers a lesson will alienate BJP further in the state.”
