More Subsidies / Electricity For Punjab Farmers

http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/agriculture/punjab-announces-50-subsidy-on-diggers-for-potato-plantation/articleshow/19712433.cms

Punjab Government is facing acute financial crisis.

But it has chosen to give large subsidy to Potato farmers.

Further , electricity supply would be made during the hours of Farmers' choice.

No relief for the Non Farmers or heavily taxed Urban Punjabis.

In Jalandhar there are frequent power cuts even for those pay for the electricity they consume.

Electricity Supply should be de politicised .

( Paid consumers of Electricity in Punjab  are demanding a Separate Electricity Board for the Paid Category and another for the Free Electricity consumers)
