SSM’s three promises: Hisab-Kitab panel, cheap power, interest-free crop loans
Sanyukt Samaj Morcha (SSM) president Balbir Singh Rajewal on Saturday made three major announcements on his “Punjab agenda” for the upcoming state polls and said that a “Hisab-Kitab Commission” will be set up to probe the state’s loot by politicians and their associates in the last 20-25 years. He said that those who looted Punjab will not only be made accountable but the looted money will also be recovered.
The SSM is a political front launched by 13 farmers’ unions to contest the upcoming Assembly elections in Punjab.
Rajewal, on Saturday while announcing that the party manifesto will be made public next week, also said that the Punjab Lokpal, which is now a toothless tiger, will be given more powers to take on the corrupt politicians and their partners.
