After Rs 500 Cooking Gas, Ashok Gehlot's Big Relief On Power Bills In Rajasthan

 

In January, Ashok Gehlot had announced huge subsidies on cooking gas.

Jaipur:

The Congress has tweaked its free electricity promise -- which was hugely successful in Karnataka -- for Rajasthan, which will have its assembly election by the end of this year. Free electricity up to 100 units and fixed rate for the next 100 was Ashok Gehlot government's announcement this evening, which, the Chief Minister said, is based on public feedback.  

"After observing inflation relief camps and talking to the public, there was feedback that there should be a slight change in the slab-wise exemption in electricity bills. Feedback was also received from the public regarding the fuel surcharge in the electricity bills in the month of May, on the basis of which a big decision has been taken," reads a rough translation of Mr Gehlot's tweet in Hindi.

The huge late evening announcement came on a day Prime Minister Narendra Modi practically launched the party's campaign from Ajmer with a sharp attack on the state Congress, accusing it of  corruption and factionalism.

This is the Congress's first big ticket announcement since December, when Mr Gehlot had promised huge subsidies on cooking gas. The prices were slashed by more than half to provide 12 cylinders a year at ₹ 500 each.

Last year, the government had also launched a mega health insurance scheme, which offers free medical facilities up to ₹ 25 lakh at government hospitals. The minimum monthly pension has also been increased to ₹ 1,000 under the social security scheme.

Ahead of the Karnataka assembly election, the Congress had taken a leaf out of Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party's book. The promise of free water and electricity, which had paid huge electoral dividends to AAP in Delhi and Punjab, worked for the Congress in Karnataka too.

But reports say the tardiness in implementation is causing hiccups for the Siddaramaiah government. Over the last weeks, farmers in several pockets have refused to pay power bills, insisting that the discom agents collect it from the state government.

Post a comment The state BJP, which is still smarting over its defeat, is gleeful over the ruling party's predicament. BJP MP Pratap Simha has urged people not to pay electricity bills from June 1 if their consumption is below 200 units.

"Couldn't Sleep, Kept Thinking...": Mohit Sharma On Final 2 Balls To Ravindra Jadeja | Cricket News

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 final turned out to a sporting spectacle, with Ravindra Jadeja scoring 10 runs off the final 2 balls against Mohit Sharma of Gujarat Titans to earn his team 5th title. While it was pure ecstasy for the Super Kings, the Titans unit was in complete despair after failing to defend the title with the narrowest of margins. Mohit Sharma, who conceded a six and a four on the final two balls of the match to Jadeja, admitted that he couldn't sleep that night, thinking what he could've done differently.

In a chat with The Indian Express, Mohit spoke about his plans and preparation for the final over, which went as planned until the final two balls.

"My mind was very clear in what I wanted to do. In the nets, I had practiced such situations and I have been in such scenarios before too. So I said let me bowl all balls yorkers and was backing my instinct," the Haryana speedster said.

"They wanted to know what will be plan of action. I said I will again try to bowl yorker. People are now saying this and that but frankly it has no meaning. I knew what I wanted to do," he added.

WIth Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja on strike, CSK could only score 3 runs from the first 4 balls. But, Jadeja sent the penultimate delivery straight down the ground for a six before hitting a four fine behind the stumps to complete the run-chase.

"I ran and tried to bowl (yorker) again. I just wanted to be focussed and back myself. Whole IPL I have done that. The ball landed where it shouldn't have and Jadeja got his bat. I tried, I tried my best," he says.

Having come into the team, literally from nowhere, Mohit truly had a comeback season that he would be remembered for a long time.

He said: "I couldn't sleep. Sochta raha kya alag karta joh match jeet jaate. What if I could have bowled this ball or that ball? It's not a nice feeling now. Somewhere something is missing but I'm trying to move on."

"I was picked from nowhere. I remember speaking to Ani bhai (Anirudh Chaudhary, a veteran Haryana administrator) before the season what shall I do? Shall I continue or not. He had said I should try to play. I had come with no expectation and just have continued to work hard. My work ethic has remained the same. I don't know what lies ahead, but I have enjoyed my journey," the pacer went on to say.
