Punjab budget: Fuel prices cut; FM tries to woofarmers, youth, SC ahead of Lok Sabha polls

CHANDIGARH, Feb 18: With the Lok Sabha elec-

tions around the corner, theCongress-led PunjabGovernment cut fuel prices,petrol by Rs 5 and diesel by Rs1 a litre, and announced a hostof new schemes for farmers,youth, industry, ScheduledCaste population in the statebudget presented today.

Deciding against levying anynew tax, state Finance MinisterManpreet Singh Badal high-lighted "persistent efforts" of theAmarinder Singh-ledGovernment to bring the stateon a "fiscal recovery path". Healso accused the previous SAD-BJP government of leaving thestate in a "fiscal mess".

Badal presented the budgetwith a total outlay of Rs1,58,493 crore, including a'ways and means' transaction ofRs 32,000 crore. The transactionis a credit facility extended bythe RBI to the States.

Though with little "fiscalspace" in the wake of high com-mitted expenditures, the FinanceMinister tried to provide some-thing to each segment with thelaunch of new schemes such as'Make in Punjab', 'Mera Kamm,Mera Maan' and laid thrust onimproving rural and urban infra-structure, besides focusing onagriculture, health and educa-tion.

Badal's Budget Speech wasmarred by vociferous protest byShiromani Akali Dal (SAD) andBharatiya Janata Party (BJP)

members against LocalGovernment Minister NavjotSingh Sidhu's remarks follow-ing the Pulwama attack. Due todisruptions caused byOpposition members, the speak-er had to adjourn the House afternaming SAD and BJP members.

In a major move, Badalwhile banking on buoyancy inrevenue and better cash flowmanagement announced to bringdown petrol prices by Rs 5 perlitre and diesel by Rs 1 per litreby resorting to rationalising ofvalue-added tax (VAT) rates onpetroleum products.

Badal, while later talking toreporters, said with Rs 1 reduc-tion per litre, diesel in Punjabwill be the cheapest in northIndia and it will be effectivefrom today midnight.

"We will take it up with theCentre to align (VAT rates ofpetrol in) Chandigarh with (thatof) Punjab," he said adding thata target of Rs 6,300 crore of col-lections from VAT had beenfixed for 2019-20 which was thesame as in 2018-19.

With his speech laced withcouplets of famous poets AllamaIqbal and Jagannath Azad, Badalsaid the State Government wascommitted to reduce "crushingburden" of debt and "revitalise"the economy.

Already facing oppositionire over farmers' issue, theFinance Minister announced anincrease of allocation for theagriculture and allied sector toRs 13,643 crore.

Earmarking Rs 3,000 crorefor the farm debt waiverscheme, Badal announced towaive the loans of landless farmlabourers and the families offarmers who committed sui-

cides, while assuring the Housethat this government would takenecessary steps to relieve farm-ers of its debt stress.

The allocation for free powersubsidy has been kept at Rs8,969 crore for 2019-20.

For sugarcane farmers andcrop residue management, theFM proposed a sum of Rs 355crore and Rs 375 crore, respec-tively.

Similarly, the fund alloca-tions for education, health, ruraland urban infrastructure havebeen proposed to be raised in therange of 9-36 per cent.

Lauding the Government foroffering 1.13 lakh jobs under itsemployment generation scheme,Badal announced to launch anew scheme 'Mera Kaam, MeraMaan' with Rs 90 crore of allo-cation wherein unemployedyouth between the age group of18 and 35 years will be assistedby the district bureaus ofemployment and enterprise forboth skilling and wage employ-ment for a specified minimumdays in the year.

To keep the youth awayfrom drugs, Badal announced toset up block-level multi-purposestadiums in Ludhiana, Rajpuraand other places.

A new policy 'Make inPunjab' is being drafted to pro-mote goods manufactured in theState. "As per this policy, in apublic procurement order, pur-chase preference shall be givento the local suppliers up to 50per cent of the total quantity,provided that their goods have aminimum local content of 40 percent and their bids come under15 per cent margin of purchasepreference above the lowestbid," Badal said in his speech.

ism," Modi said in apress statement in thepresence of Marci.

The ArgentinePresident is the firstinternational leader tovisit India after thePulwama terror attackthat martyrs 40 CentralReserve Police Force(CRPF) in Kashmirlast week.

Condoling thedeath of the CRPF per-sonnel, Macri saidIndia and Argentinamust work together tofight the menace ofterrorism.

Referring to thedefence cooperationagreement signed

JODHPUR, Feb 18:

The Rajasthan High Courttoday extended the stay on arrestof Robert Vadra and directedhim to cooperate in the inquiryby the Enforcement Directorate(ED) into a complaint of allegedmoney laundering against a firmlinked to him.

Justice P S Bhati posted thehearing for March 15 afterVadra's lawyer gave an assur-ance in the court that he willcooperate with the inquiry.

“Vadra has appeared beforethe ED on February 12 in pur-suance of the direction of thecourt and has been cooperatingin the inquiry, said his counselKuldeep Mathur in the court.

Vadra is the brother-in-law ofCongress president Rahul

Gandhi.The court then deferred the

hearing in the matter and said thestay on arrest of Vadra withoutcourt's permission will continue.

During the last hearing onJanuary 21, the court hadremoved the clause of “NoCoercive Action” against Vadraduring inquiry but had refused tovacate the stay on his arrest.

The ED had moved the courtseeking vacation of the stayorder on the grounds that therewas neither an FIR lodged in thematter nor any accused named.

The agency had issued sum-monses to Robert Vadra and hismother and firm's partnerMaureen Vadra for the third timein November last year but noneof them had appeared before theED and instead moved the highcourt seeking “No CoerciveAction” order and stay on arrest.(PTI)

CIC pulls up RBI for non-disclosureof demonetisation records

NEW DELHI, Feb 18:

The Central InformationCommission has pulled up theReserve Bank of India for "per-functory handling" of an RTIapplication seeking records ofits board meetings where theissue of demonetisation wasdeliberated, and issued a show-cause notice to its Central PublicInformation Officer.

Activist Venkatesh Nayakhad sought records of all meet-ings of the RBI Central Board ofDirectors along with the papers,presentations or other docu-ments placed before it, whichled to the decision of demoneti-sation announced by PrimeMinister Narendra Modi onNovember 8, 2016.

Not getting any informationfrom the RBI, which cited anexemption clause to deny therecords, Nayak approached thecommission, the highest adjudi-cating body in matters pertain-ing to the Right to Information(RTI) Act.

Prime Minister NarendraModi had announced onNovember 8, 2016 that Rs 1,000and Rs 500 notes, which consti-tuted about 86 per cent of totalcurrency in circulation then,would cease to be legal tender.

They were replaced by newRs 2,000 and Rs 500 notes.Several restrictions were alsoplaced on the withdrawal of cur-rency notes from banks duringdemonetisation.

The petitioner toldInformation CommissionerSuresh Chandra that the infor-mation is not exempted undersection 8 (1) (a) of the RTI Actas claimed by the CPIO.

The section exempts fromdisclosure the informationwhich would prejudicially affectthe sovereignty and integrity ofIndia, the security, strategic, sci-entific or economic interests ofthe State, relation with foreignState or lead to incitement of anoffence.

During the hearing, nearly15 months after the RTI applica-tion was filed, the RBI's repre-sentative accepted that the infor-mation "prima facie was wrong-ly denied".

He further explained thatconsidering the requests of thecitizens after the instant RTIapplication was filed by theappellant and several rulings ofthe courts as well as this com-mission, they are ready and will-ing to provide the minutes of themeetings, Chandra noted.

"The commission takes aserious view of the perfunctoryhandling of RTI application andabsence of CPIO, during hearingand he is advised to attend thenext date of hearing to explainas to why penalty should not beimposed on him," Chandra said.

He also said the CPIOshould submit his written sub-missions and arguments beforethe next date of hearing. (PTI)
