Paid Category of Electricity in Punjab who are paying more than Rs. 7 o Rs. 8 Per Unit for Electricity have welcomed Arvind Kejriwal's moves on the exploitation of non vote Electricity consumers. Urban Business are charged penal rates under a category euphemistically termed as Commercial category.Free Electricity in Punjab is given to Farmers ( including the Super Rich owning land worth thousands of crores ) and on Caste basis ( including the Creamy Layer ) No relief is given to the physically Handicapped Punjabis because they are not considered to be a Vote Bank

There is overwhelming support for Arvind Kejriwal's move of personally restoring connections which have been disconnected.

People welcome this Gandhian approach  ( like the Salt Satyagraha by Mahatma Gandhi ) of Arvind Kejriwal  to end exploitation.

Paid category in Punjab is demanding a Separate Electricity Board for the Paid Category of Electricity consumers.

Non Vote Banks are being subjected to Bijli - Petrol Jazia ( Petrol in Punjab is Rs. 7 Per Litre more expensive than in neighbouring Haryana although in both states it is sourced from the same set of refineries )
