Delhi model electrocuted Punjab with power outages: SAD

Chandigarh, April 28 (UNI) The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Thursday said the Delhi Model had electrocuted Punjab with Punjabis, who had been promised round the clock power supply, facing eighteen hour power cuts at the onset of the summer season.
In a statement here, senior SAD leader Balwinder Singh Bhundur said, “if this is the change AAP promised, then it will only lead to the destruction of the State’s agriculture and industrial economy and cause untold hardship to the common man”. He said the breakdown also proved that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government did not have any vision document to make the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) self sufficient and had befooled Punjabis with the promise of round the clock assured power supply.
Asking Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to review the power situation immediately and set his house in order, Bhundur said earlier Punjab’s power sector was one of the best in the country. “The State also achieved the distinction of becoming power surplus during the SAD led government of Parkash Singh Badal. The State’s utility was ranked as the best in the country. It is a sad day that the situation has become such that Punjabis are suffering eighteen hour power cuts in rural areas and even urban areas are without power for eight hours at a stretch.”
