Navjot Sidhu meets party workers, lists 'five priorities' again
Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu on Thursday flagged again the five ‘key issues’ faced by the state, days after being told by Chief Minister Amarinder Singh that his government is close to resolving them. At their first meeting Tuesday with Amarinder Singh after his appointment as the state party president, Sidhu and the four working presidents had reminded the CM about the 18-point programme and the five priority areas. The delegation led by Sidhu had sought “immediate action” from the CM on the 2015 desecration of the Guru Granth Sahib and the police firing on protesters, arrest of the “big fish” in drug rackets, cancellation of power purchase agreements, rejection of the Centre's new farm laws and agreeing to the demands by government employees. In an apparent attack at the Aam Aadmi Party government in the national capital, he said, “If you see the Delhi model, a subsidy of Rs 1,700 crore is being given in Delhi in comparison to Rs 10,000 crore of subsidy being given by Punjab.” He said there is hardly any state in the country which provides so much power subsidy.
