Punjab Congress chief Partap Singh Bajwa on Saturday said that he will meet Finance Minister P Chidambaram to discuss State's "weak" financial position and demand a special package for Punjab.
lashing out at the SAD-BJP Government he said that the State Government is misleading people by claiming that the State budget was tax free.
"The State Government's budget for 2013-14 was not tax free as declared by the Punjab Government.
"Rather, the SAD-BJP Government has imposed taxes to the tune of Rs3,000 crore on people. We will expose the same by issuing a white paper in this regard," Bajwa said here.
Bajwa was also critical of the increase in power tariff and said that the hike in electricity rates would put a financial burden of Rs1,800 crore on the people of Punjab.
