Electricity Price Hike due to Akali BJP Govt - 22/09/2007
SUBJECT: Electricity Price Hike due to Akali BJP Govt
Comments made by Mr. Sukhbir Badal in Ludhiana on 21/09/07 that the recent electricity price hikes are outside the control of the Punjab Government indicate a major abdication of responsibility.
Although, the price rise may have been determined by Punjab State Electricity Regulatory Commission (PSERC).
Mr. Sukhbir Badal cannot escape from the fact that this government has done nothing to improve the efficiencies of the PSEB.
Had this government been able to reduce the theft of electricity and improve the procurement process, this rise would not have been necessary.
This electricity price rise is entirely the responsibility of this Akali-BJP government.
