What to expect from new govt

1. Fiscal management: The poor financial health of the state is a major concern. Finance Minister Manpreet Badal has made it clear that there is an immediate need to cut expenses incurred to run the government. His biggest challenge remains funding for pre-poll promises.
2. Sobriety: Unlike the previous government, the new government is expected to maintain a low profile. Manpreet Badal has already turned down the offer to have an official car or security. He drove in his personal car to Raj Bhawan to take oath. Another Cabinet Minister Charanjit Singh Channi removed the red beacon from his car. The party had laid emphasis on ending the VIP culture in its poll manifesto.
3. Depoliticisation of police: A brief has been given to the DGP to prepare a presentation on how to modernise the police and a roadmap on how to turn the police into an apolitical force. The government is likely to cut police deployment in service of VIPs.
4. Fewer political appointments: The government is likely to cancel most of the political appointments made by the previous government on different boards, commissions and corporations. A large number of boards, which were especially formed on caste and religious lines, are likely to be abolished. The CM has already made it clear that he doesn’t need an army of advisers.
5. Employment generation: In its previous term (2002-07), the Congress government had banned recruitments in the government sector. Now, the government is likely to lay emphasis on employment generation. Manpreet has been assigned the department of employment generation. ‘One job per household’ is one of the party’s poll promises.
