He further said that the reforms being implemented by the state government wouldn’t throw any burden on the farmers. He said that they were trying to turn the free power scheme into a more efficient scheme and added that there wouldn’t be any problem to the scheme of the state for the next 35 years. He made these during the state cabinet meeting chaired by him. The cabinet has given its approval to the free power scheme-cash transfer in its meeting.
Speaking on the occasion he said that they would regularise all agriculture connections.
