Congress alleges Bhagat Singh house’s power connection disconnected, Govt denies allegations

Chandigarh: Congress state president Amarinder Raja Warring on Saturday attacked Aam Aadmi Party government for allegedly disconnecting power elections of ancestral house of Shaheed Bhagat Singh situated at Khatkar Kalan owing outstanding bill of over 1.80 lakh.

He termed AAP and CM Bhagwant Mann a fake revolutionary and said that he is befooling people by using great revolutionary’s name but in reality he is war away from them.

Reacting to this, District Administration Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar clarified that there is no bill pending. “In fact, Powercom has an advance bill payment worth Rs 6760 with them,” said Deputy Commissioner SBS Nagar Navjot Pal Singh Randhawa.

He also made an appeal to a section of the media not to use the name of ancestral house as emotions of lakhs of people are attached with this historic place.

Earlier, Power Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO had also clarified to the media channels that the power connection of the ancestral house or Museum of Shaheed Bhagat Singh at Khatkar Kalan was never disconnected.

Meanwhile, the ancestral house of Shaheed Bhagat Singh has a separate power connection in the name of Department of Cultural Affairs.
