For over 20 years, Punjab had been used to either Parkash Singh Badal, 93, or the 79-year-old royal, Amarinder Singh, as CM. The younger Channi is a change — in attitude & working style.
Navjot Singh Sidhu had resigned as Punjab Congress president in September to oppose these appointments. He thanked CM Charanjit Singh Channi for deciding to remove them.
Punjab CM Channi said a survey conducted by his govt found that people wanted quality and cheap power. The reduction in power charges will apply to domestic consumers.
Punjab CM Channi said the Cabinet has also decided the state govt will pay the electricity bills of water supply tubewells and has fixed water tariff at Rs 50 per month.
Congress leaders in Punjab are divided over the Modi government’s decision to increase the BSF’s jurisdiction from the current 15 km to 50 km in the state.

Sidhu believes 2 officers appointed by Channi played controversial roles in 2015 sacrilege cases. ThePrint explains what the cases were & why are they politically relevant even today.
Channi said the killing of farmers was intentional, and called the incident painful. He demanded that the three controversial farm laws should be repealed immediately.
