To shake the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab out of its deep slumber, the Shiromani Akali Dal will hold statewide protests day after tomorrow on April 30 against prolonged and daily power cuts.
The decision was taken by SAD President Sukhbir Singh Badal in view of the rapidly worsening power situation, which is forcing people across Punjab to endure sleepless nights amid continuous outages.
Senior SAD leaders and workers from every assembly constituency will stage protests at local SDM/DC and Powercom offices, demanding uninterrupted power supply.
These crippling power cuts are not accidental. They are the direct result of poor power planning, failure to secure timely power tie-ups, and sheer administrative incompetence. Instead of addressing this crisis, the government remains preoccupied with managing internal instability and threats to its own survival amid large-scale defections of its MPs and leaders.
Untimely rain, gusty winds & hailstorm have devastated crops in the Malwa region, especially Mansa, Bathinda, Fazilka & Sri Muktsar Sahib areas. Farmers and farm labourers’ hard work of months has been wiped out just before harvest.
I appeal to CM @BhagwantMann to immediately order special girdawari in affected villages & release compensation without any delay. Farmers can’t wait!
This time, please don’t confine yourself to lip service.
Heartfelt condolences to my dear friend and Shiromani Akali Dal’s senior leader from Bathinda, Mr. Mohit Gupta, on the demise of his father, Sh. Pawan Kumar Gupta Ji.
May Gurusahab grant peace to the departed soul and strength to the family in this hour of grief. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. 🙏
SAD urged both the Union & State Govt of Punjab to stop politics over ration cards issue & to ensure justice to all eligible beneficiaries of Atta Dal scheme.
Already the scheme has been reduced from ‘Atta Dal’ to ‘Atta & No Dal’ scheme. Even the quantity of wheat supplied has been drastically reduced to one third.
Whether it is Union government which stops supply due to eKYC update or it is State govt which deletes ration cards on political considerations, the sufferer is the common man. Surprisingly, both governments are talking about deletion of existing cards but none is thinking to include remaining eligible beneficiaries.
It is also a grim reminder of how federalism is being trampled. The Union Govt bypassing state govt & using its party leaders as its mouthpieces.
Equally condemnable is AAP’s erosion of State autonomy. Punjab’s land pooling policy was drafted not in Chandigarh but by Kejriwal’s Delhi team. Sisodia & other Delhi leaders interfere daily. Even political appointments in Punjab are cleared from Delhi by team Kejriwal.
So both Centre & AAP Govt are equally guilty. One weakens Punjab from outside, the other surrenders from within. Punjabis deserve policies rooted in Punjab’s soil, not dictated by Delhi durbars or central diktats.
ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੀਆਂ ਨੀਤੀਆਂ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੀ ਧਰਤੀ ਦੀ ਖੁਸ਼ਬੂ ਨਾਲ ਬਨਣ ਨਾ ਦਿੱਲੀ ਦੇ ਹਵਾਲਿਆਂ ਨਾਲ ਤੇ ਨਾ ਹੀ ਕੇਂਦਰੀ ਡਰ ਨਾਲ।
This is the power of unity, this is what happens when government keep on exploiting you.
I stand solidarity with farmers around the world- no farners no food
The only difference between indian farmers protest and this one is that their own people doesn’t call them by names and label them as antinationalist Infact they support them

मैं राजस्थान से हूं हमारे माता पिता और बुजुर्ग किसान एम एस पी के बारे में जानते ही नहीं है। यहां तक पढ़ें लिखे लोग भी नहीं जानते हैं। राजस्थान के किसान की आर्थिक हालत बहुत दयनीय और बुरी तरह पिछड़े हुए हैं। राज्य स्तर में कोई कमेटी नहीं है। पूंजीपति लोग मनमानी करके अनाज ऐसे ही दो कोडी के भाव में खरीदारी करते हैं। अगर पंजाब के किसान लड रहे हैं तो कश्मीर से कन्याकुमारी और गुजरात से अरूणाचल प्रदेश तक किसान के हित में होगा। किसान की आर्थिक स्थिति सुधरेगी तब ही तो देश विकसित होगा।
