Former Deputy Speaker and SAD (Sanyukat) senior vice-president Bir Devinder Singh has questioned PCC president Navjot Singh Sidhu and Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on making “absurd and deceptive statements” regarding the cancellation of PPA (power purchase agreements).

Bir Devinder said Capt Amarinder’s position in the case of PPAs had been suspicious from the very beginning of his second term as Chief Minister.

Former Power Minister Rana Gurjit Singh made a statement in 2017 that the government would review, all excessively unjust PPAs, but nothing happened. Punjab CM Capt. Amarinder Singh made an announcement soon after the Governor’s address in January 2020 that his government would bring “white paper” on the cost of the power and PPAs. The so-called ‘white paper’ has not seen the light of the day to date. — TNS
