Senior Bharatiya Janta Party Leader and Punjab State President BJP Investor Cell Advocate Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal wrote a letter to Master Mohan Lal, Transport Minister, Government of Punjab and demanded that the State Government should reduce Bus Fare as prices of Diesel have been reduced considerably by Rs 4/-. The prevailing rates of Diesel were applicable in September 2005.
Grewal stated that citing an opportunity to increase fares in the wake of increased fuel prices autocratic Captain Amarinder Singh led Congress Government burdened people of Punjab by raising the fares from 42 paise per Km to 49 paise per Km. He added that the above dictatorial decision burdened over 8.5 Lac commuters who travel on 2418 Buses of Punjab Roadways Transport Corporation and PEPSU Roadways Transport Corporation daily.
Grewal stated that SAD-BJP Government is committed to “Raj Nahi Seva” and the Punjab Government should immediately reduce bus fares from 49 paise to 40 paise to provide much abated relief to common man of Punjab especially when the Diesel Prices have been rolled back to Rs 29.82 below its year 2005 prices. He added that the above decision will reiterate “Raj Nahi Seva” slogan given by SAD-BJP alliance before Lok Sabha Polls especially when most of the Private Fleet of Buses are owned by companies promoted by Punjab Chief Minister Sardar. Prakash Singh Badal and Deputy Chief Minister Sardar. Sukhbir Singh Badal
