After Rs 500 Cooking Gas, Ashok Gehlot's Big Relief On Power Bills In Rajasthan

 

In January, Ashok Gehlot had announced huge subsidies on cooking gas.

Jaipur:

The Congress has tweaked its free electricity promise -- which was hugely successful in Karnataka -- for Rajasthan, which will have its assembly election by the end of this year. Free electricity up to 100 units and fixed rate for the next 100 was Ashok Gehlot government's announcement this evening, which, the Chief Minister said, is based on public feedback.  

"After observing inflation relief camps and talking to the public, there was feedback that there should be a slight change in the slab-wise exemption in electricity bills. Feedback was also received from the public regarding the fuel surcharge in the electricity bills in the month of May, on the basis of which a big decision has been taken," reads a rough translation of Mr Gehlot's tweet in Hindi.

    महंगाई राहत शिविरों के अवलोकन व जनता से बात करने पर फीडबैक आया कि बिजली बिलों में मिलने वाली स्लैबवार छूट में थोड़ा बदलाव किया जाए.

    - मई महीने में बिजली बिलों में आए फ्यूल सरचार्ज को लेकर भी जनता से फीडबैक मिला जिसके आधार पर बड़ा फैसला किया है.

The huge late evening announcement came on a day Prime Minister Narendra Modi practically launched the party's campaign from Ajmer with a sharp attack on the state Congress, accusing it of  corruption and factionalism.

This is the Congress's first big ticket announcement since December, when Mr Gehlot had promised huge subsidies on cooking gas. The prices were slashed by more than half to provide 12 cylinders a year at ₹ 500 each.

Last year, the government had also launched a mega health insurance scheme, which offers free medical facilities up to ₹ 25 lakh at government hospitals. The minimum monthly pension has also been increased to ₹ 1,000 under the social security scheme.

Ahead of the Karnataka assembly election, the Congress had taken a leaf out of Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party's book. The promise of free water and electricity, which had paid huge electoral dividends to AAP in Delhi and Punjab, worked for the Congress in Karnataka too.

But reports say the tardiness in implementation is causing hiccups for the Siddaramaiah government. Over the last weeks, farmers in several pockets have refused to pay power bills, insisting that the discom agents collect it from the state government.

The state BJP, which is still smarting over its defeat, is gleeful over the ruling party's predicament. BJP MP Pratap Simha has urged people not to pay electricity bills from June 1 if their consumption is below 200 units.

Mega Farmers' Meet Today To Discuss Wrestlers' #MeToo Protest: 10 Facts

 

New Delhi: Several wrestlers continue to protest against former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan despite calls from the government to trust the ongoing police probe. Farmers today will hold a 'mahapanchayat' to discuss the issue.
Here are 10 facts about the big story:

    The Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) has said that a grand meeting of all khaps will be held in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar today to discuss the wrestlers' protest, who have levelled sexual harassment charges against embattled WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

    BKU leader Naresh Tikait says that several representatives of different khaps and their heads from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab Rajasthan, and Delhi will be participating in the mahapanchayat.

    Mr Tikait played a key role in persuading some of India's best wrestlers to not immerse their medals in Ganga on Tuesday.

    Olympic medallists Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia, and Asian Games gold medallist Vinesh Phogat went to Haridwar on Tuesday and threatened to immerse their medals in the river due to the lack of action against the WFI chief. They refrained from doing so after being convinced by the farmer leaders and given a five-day deadline to the police.  

    The wrestlers have been on the warpath since January, demanding action against WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, whom they accused of sexually harassing seven athletes, including a minor.

    Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, a BJP MP, has denied any wrongdoing and asserted that he would hang himself if the allegations against him were proven.

    "If a single allegation against me is proven, I will hang myself. If you (wrestlers) have any evidence, present it to the Court, and I am ready to accept any punishment," he said.

    Union sports minister Anurag Thakur yesterday accused the protesting wrestlers of "changing goalposts" and in the government's first comment on the issue in recent days, reiterated that they should not take any step that "hurts the sport or other athletes".

    "The athletes themselves had said that the platform is not for doing politics. But later political parties came and went and shared this platform," the minister told reporters, referring to visits by opposition leaders to the wrestlers' protest site at Delhi's Jantar Mantar.  

    Internationally, the United World Wrestling (UWW), the sport's governing body, issued a statement criticising the "lack of results" in the investigations against Mr Singh. The UWW reminded the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) of its promise to hold fresh elections for the WFI within 45 days and warned that failure to do so may lead to the suspension of the federation.
