^ bad planning by the government, wasted four years and billions of rupees and now since elections are coming up they have started of ways to alleviate the problems.

The problem with the government is the lobbies who bribe the ministers/bureaucrats..

Fertilizer lobby/Captive plant lobby/CNG lobby are suspected to pay huge bribes..

We as a nation are paying huge amounts from our resources to make these lobbies very rich..

Look at the mathematics from above article.. the entire power sector can actually become profitable if US$ 7.2 billion can be saved. Presently the government is paying around 400 billion rupees to the power sector. Just imagine if this amount is spent on education…

Just imagine to provide cheap electricity to a big industrialist through supply of cheap gas to their Captive plants.. business of small tailors/workshops/small traders/small industrialist is completely destroyed by the present government. Don’t forget this small and medium scale sector is the major employer in the country.

I am not saying we should stop electricity to large scale industry.. but why should we provide them electricity for Rs. 5/ per unit at the expense of entire nation.. Why should a large industrialist pay Rs. 5 when a small tailor has to pay Rs.20/ (combination of diesel generator/Wapda).. and the whole country has practically become bankrupt to subsidies these powerful lobbies..
