Sukhbir slams govt over erratic power supply, announces protest today
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Thursday accused chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh of practically reneging on the free power facility to farmers by refusing to provide eight-hour uninterrupted supply to them during the peak of the paddy sowing season.
Announcing a protest by the party on Friday to demand restoration of power supply, the SAD leader said that after betraying farmers by refusing to implement a complete farm loan waiver, the CM has now effectively made the free power facility a farce in the state.
“Instead of the committed eight-hour uninterrupted power, farmers are being given 3-4 hour supply, forcing them to spend thousands of rupees every day on diesel generators to save their paddy crop.
