Working of AAP and SAD Government
Leaders of the Congress have accused the AAP of trying to avoid forming a government as they know they can’t fulfill their “unrealistic” poll promises. The BJP, which fell five short of a majority with 31 seats, and the AAP have both so far refused to stake claim to power saying they do not have the mandate to rule. Anna Hazare never wanted to politicize the movement and preferred it to remain politically unaligned while Kejriwal’s political aspiration grew after the movement. Going against Anna’s wishes, Kejriwal eventually formed a political party. Media manipulating opinions of AAP members are creating a negative image.
Not all, but many people belonging to this group are just looking for a reason to hate AK as the PM elections come near. And spreading of negative views thereafter is resulting in many people staying away from showing their support towards AAP in open.
SAD and BJP have done a lot to the Punjab and its people. The Union Minister today dedicated several developmental projects to the public and laid foundation stone of others. The SAD-BJP government not only has launched several welfare schemes, but has achieved high success in implementing them properly. People of Punjab have always voted for development and this time too they will cast their precious vote to SAD-BJP government that has heralded in development in state. The historical decision has been taken on Satluj-Yamuna Link, which has reiterated the SAD-BJP government’s pro-people approach meant to safeguard the interests of state’s farmers. Cheques under shagan scheme worth around Rs 13.80 lacs to 90 beneficiaries in the Talwandi Sabo community hall are distributed. Newly constructed 66 kv power grid worth Rs 3.75 cr in village Sekhu that will provide power to nearby areas. Government Primary School will be started in village lehri which will boost the education.
Historic Decision Regarding SYL
Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Wednesday said the construction of Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal would not be “allowed at any cost and under any circumstances. He asked the people to get ready for a tough battle ahead for saving river waters of the State. He declared that decisions aimed at “robbing” the State and its people of their “rights” would never be accepted to him and SAD-BJP alliance. There never had been any need nor was there one now to construct the SYL canal. Mr. Badal expressed gratitude to the State BJP leadership especially Cabinet Minister Madan Mohan Mittal and State BJP chief Kamal Sharma, who had fully supported the cause for river waters.he declared that he was ready to make any sacrifice rather than allow a single drop of water to flow out of state.he was looking for political revival through the SYL issue. CM declared to safeguard the river waters of the State at any cost in accordance with the Riparian principles. He assailed the Congress for “depriving the State of its genuine rights” related to river waters. Construction of SYL is ironic for Badal as well. . It is the Badal government that has now de-notified this canal and returned land to the original owners. his government wrote a letter to Haryana on July 4, 1978, seeking Rs 3 crore for the project. With the alarming rate at which the water table is going down due to excessive tubewell irrigation, Punjab faces the eventual threat of turning into a desert. Referring to Punjab Termination of Agreements Act 2004, which Congressmen claimed as their major contribution, the Chief Minister said all the agreements which were terminated through this Act, were done by Congress governments. It was high time to make “supreme sacrifices” , says Chief Minister of Punjab.

Government is bringing awareness among the people through quite good advertisements. It aims to attain a 100% open defecation free Punjab. It aims to promote community hygiene in rural India.
To help promote waste management practices, government help by installing colour-coded dustbins to segregate waste, thereby reducing the time-consuming job of waste segregation, he made it easier for the villagers to adopt the change. He even promoted revenue generation by setting up a system for the community to sell recyclable material to the local scrap dealer, which was a great motivator for the villagers. All the villages will soon be a swachh villages. Now, it is all set to become the first state in India with 200 villages being developed as “Smart Swachh Villages” within this year by the Punjab government.
It’s a true inspiration to villagers and local government bodies that ‘Clean India’ is not just a phrase…. It is actionable with very little effort.”

It is the time saving technique by travelling on the flyover.
The loss of fuel for combustion and the associated cost resulting from waiting for the signal to change are also estimated, and these are found to be significant. When it rains, it’s not just the roads that are water logged all other streets also get full with water so it’s easy to travel by flyover to get ease of rain water.
