Chandigarh, June 29
AAP supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today announced 300 units of free power for each household in Punjab if the party is voted to power. For the youth, he said he would soon share a plan to end rampant unemployment in the state.
Unveiling the AAP’s agenda for the 2022 Assembly elections, interestingly, Kejriwal initially said electricity would be free only if the consumers consumed just 300 units. If it is more than 300 units, the consumers will have to pay for the entire power consumed. He was flanked by Raghav Chadha, MP Bhagwant Mann and recent inductee in the party, Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh.
Punjab Stands at Political Crossroads Widespread anger creates space for third alternative
Eight months ahead of the assembly polls, the border state of Punjab stands at a political crossroads. Many surprising developments on the political chessboard of the state can be expected in the days to come. All that remains certain is the widespread anger against the political parties that have been ruling the state for decades.
Space for a third alternative to the Congress and the Shiromani Akali Dal still exists. But is any political force in a position to fill this void?
Interestingly, the issues that were there before the high voltage polls in 2017 remain firmly entrenched. The highly emotive issue of the sacrilege of holy books and the police killing of peaceful protestors seeking justice at Behbal Kalan for desecration of the Guru Granth Sahib at Bargari, along with the police firing at Kotkapura, stand where they were, with the cases yet to reach their logical conclusion.

As Sidhu-Amarinder rift grows, Congress says no factionalism in Punjab, only diversity of opinions
As Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu stepped up his attack on Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh over the sacrilege case, the Congress on Tuesday said that no need for the central leadership to intervene in state unit matters as issues arising out of differences of opinions can be resolved within the party at various levels.
