CONGRATULATIONS & REVOLUTIONARY SALUTE TO ALL - WE SUCCEEDED IN STALLING ELECTRICITY (AMENDMENT) BILL IN 16th PARLIAMENT Feb 13, 2019,

We the Power Engineers and Power Employees have finally succeeded in stalling Electricity(Amendment) Bill 2014 later amended as 2018, in 16th Lok Sabha. 13th February 2019 was the last day of 16th Lok Sabha and with last meeting of 16th Lok Sabha over now Electricity(Amendment) Bill 2018 died it's own death. As per the rules any Bill tabled and not passed in Lok Sabha is known as lapsed after the expiry of term of that Lok Sabha.  Electricity(Amendment) Bill 2014 was tabled in Lok Sabha  on 19th December 2014. Actually the agenda of segregation of carriage and content with the aim to privatise power supply was in election manifesto of BJP. Pushing forward it's election manifesto BJP Govt tabled the Electricity(Amendment) Bill 2014. It is noteworthy that Prime Minister Sri Nrendra Modi took this agenda in Delhi Assembly elections during January 2015 when PM himself declared that Central Govt is determined to give portability of electricity supply connection to  power consumers similar to that of mobile phones. This was stated by PM time and again in other states also which shows how important was the issue of multiple supply licencees for Central Govt.  Under the given circumstances stalling Electricity(Amendment) Bill 2018 is a big victory of unity and integrity of Power Engineers & Employees  over commercialisation of power sector. We have to maintain our unity and keep it up to thwart any such anti people legislation in coming days after parliamentary elections. Survival of public owned power sector is the real battle which we have to continue and we will.  Yes we can do.  It is a victory over malicious  design of mighty Govt & Corporates.  It is a victory of courage and conviction. CONGRATULATIONS & REVOLUTIONARY SALUTE TO ALL  POWER ENGINEERS & EMPLOYEES. @ AIPEF             ReplyReply allForward
