Chandigarh, Jan 13, 2024 (Yes Punjab News)
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, on Saturday, applauded the Mann government of Punjab for leading PSPCL to a profit making department.
It is notable that PSPCL (Punjab State Power Corporation Limited) registered Rs 564 crores of profit in the quarter ending September 2023, in contrast against a loss of Rs 1,880 crore during the corresponding period last year.
The main factors which helped PSPCL are Pachhwara Coal mine, state owned two power plants- Guru Hargobind Thermal Plant of Lehra Mohabbat and Guru Gobind Singh Super Thermal Power Plant of Rupnagar, surge in power generation at hydel plants, timely payments of subsidies by the AAP government and ample cash flow to the department etc.
The constant efforts of the Mann government to improve the public sectors are bearing fruits and the power department of Punjab becoming profitable is an example of their success.
Commending the Mann government for this success, AAP national convenor and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal shared news about PSPCL clocking profit of Rs 564 crore and wrote on X, “Till now a handful of families used to loot all the money of Punjab.
The Public was helpless. But with the honest government of the Aam Aadmi Party in power, the things started changing rapidly. These people (previous governments and conventional politicians) looted Punjab for 75 years. It will take time, but everything will be fine.”
Responding to him on X, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann wrote, “Arvind Kejriwal ji you lit a torch of honest and transparent politics in our country, Punjab is taking light from the same torch and becoming a hero.”
Mann said that the Punjab government is following the footsteps of Arvind Kejriwal and strengthening the public sectors to facilitate the common people of the state. Mann once again hinted at fielding the general election alone in Punjab and said that the AAP will win all the 13 seats of the state.
