Should there be an initiative to find out how many households have 2 domestic connections per household to get the benefit of the free government scheme?

An issue worth consideration is that, in the year 2022, announcements of 600 free units were in circulation, and 2 lakh 96 thousand new domestic consumers were added.
Punjab Congress has always produced leaders who spend as much time fighting inside the party as fighting elections outside it, and Kushaldeep Singh “Kikki” Dhillon seems to fit perfectly into that chaotic tradition. Aggressive style, faction battles, resignation drama, power-circle networking, and now ED pressure, Kikki has managed to stay in headlines even while Congress itself looks politically unstable in Punjab. Once projected as one of the party’s sharper young faces, he now looks caught between proving loyalty to Congress and proving his own individual relevance inside it. Is Kikki Dhillon still building himself as a serious future Congress player, or slowly becoming another example of Punjab Congress leaders exhausting themselves in internal wars more than public politics ?
पंजाब कांग्रेस हमेशा ऐसे नेताओं को जन्म देती रही है जो पार्टी के अंदर लड़ाइयों में उतना ही समय बिताते हैं जितना बाहर चुनाव लड़ने में, और कुशलदीप सिंह “किक्की” ढिल्लों इस परंपरा में पूरी तरह फिट बैठते दिखाई देते हैं। आक्रामक शैली, गुटबाज़ी, इस्तीफा ड्रामा, पावर-सर्कल नेटवर्किंग और अब प्रवर्तन निदेशालय का दबाव, किक्की लगातार सुर्खियों में बने हुए हैं, जबकि खुद कांग्रेस पंजाब में राजनीतिक अस्थिरता से जूझ रही है। कभी पार्टी के तेज़तर्रार युवा चेहरों में गिने जाने वाले किक्की आज कांग्रेस के प्रति वफादारी और अपनी व्यक्तिगत राजनीतिक पहचान के बीच फँसे दिखाई देते हैं। क्या किक्की ढिल्लों अब भी कांग्रेस के भविष्य के गंभीर खिलाड़ी बन रहे हैं, या फिर पंजाब कांग्रेस के उन नेताओं में शामिल होते जा रहे हैं जो जनता से ज्यादा अपनी ही पार्टी की अंदरूनी लड़ाइयों में उलझ जाते हैं ?
Om Parkash Soni spent years mastering Punjab politics quietly, winning as an Independent, surviving Congress faction wars, becoming cabinet minister, and finally reaching Deputy CM without ever behaving like Punjab’s loudest political showman. In Amritsar politics, Soni built the image of a leader who relied more on backroom equations, old networks, and political patience than viral speeches or headline drama. But after Congress collapsed in 2022 and Soni himself lost badly, many people started wondering whether Punjab had moved on from leaders built in the old Congress system altogether. In today’s Punjab politics, is Om Parkash Soni still seen as an experienced survivor, or simply another Congress-era heavyweight left behind by changing voter moods ?
