Spoke to Sidhu to iron out issues: Punjab CM

September 29, 2021 14:24

Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi on Navjot Singh Sidhu's resignation: "Whoever is party president, is head of the family. I had called him and told him that the party is supreme... I have spoken to him on phone and told him let's sit, talk it out and resolve the issue."

Channi also announces ameliorative measures in the state -- payment of electricity bills. The AAP government has promised free electricity if it comes to power in Punjab.

The Punjab government will pay the bills of 53 lakh families who cannot pay electricity bills.

"75-80 % of consumers come under the 2 KW category. Their last bill will be taken care of by us. The disconnected electricity connections will be reinstalled.

"I have been regularly going to villages in Punjab and electricity is a major issue. Due to the nonpayment of excessive bills, many houses' meters were disconnected," the CM said.
