The Aam Aadmi Party demands that the union power ministry and the Delhi administration should immediately make public their emergency electricity restoration plan to ensure there would be no long power cuts in the national capital.
It is a matter of grave concern that even two weeks after the May 30 thunderstorm, which the power department officials are blaming for the destruction of power cables and towers, no concrete action plan to prevent such a situation from arising in the future, appears to be in place.
Though there appears to be some merit in the statement of union power minister Mr Piyush Goyal that lack of investment in infrastructure for last 10 years during former chief minister Sheila Dikshit’s regime is responsible for the weak network of electricity transmission and distribution, but what is beyond understanding is his complete silence on the functioning of private power distribution companies (discoms).
What is worrying is the complete lack of accountability in the functioning of the power department and the unexplained hesitation to fix the responsibility for the long power cuts which made the life of the people miserable in scorching heat.     
The silence of both, the BJP and the Congress on the functioning of discoms and their inability to ensure uninterrupted power supply, gives rise to reasonable apprehension about their close relations with these discoms.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
