Dissident former Congress minister and the CM are at loggerheads over the State’s ongoing power shortage crisisFormer Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu, who has been at loggerheads with Chief Minister Captain (Retd.) Amarinder Singh, on Sunday argued in favour of providing free electricity up to 300 units and round-the-clock power supply to consumers in the State. The Chief Minister and Mr. Sidhu have been sparring over a range of issues, including the PPAs and the ongoing power crisis in the State. As the issue of power tariffs became the subject of a political tug of war within the Congress, supporters of Capt. Mr. Sidhu’s wife, Navjot Kaur, later clarified that they would clear the bills once their appeal against inflated charges was disposed off by the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited.
