Everywhere he goes, the Punjab government’s ‘achievement’ of delivering free electricity in the state has been largely ignored by voters. Instead, the Batala MLA is fending off queries on why the government is yet to act upon its promise of giving Rs 1,000 per month to all women in the state. “You have given us five years. Two years have passed. Many guarantees have been kept. But I want to tell you one thing. Nobody is even congratulating us for making electricity free. I felt hurt. I asked a wise man. He replied, ‘You showered love on people when they were sleeping. They should have been given free electricity only when they asked for it’,” said Kalsi. It’s not just Kalsi. With Punjab set to vote on June 1 in the final phase of the Lok Sabha elections, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has also reminded people about how the government has delivered on its free electricity promise. …

Later, she was defeated by Vinod Khanna three times in a row. Khanna was finally defeated in 2009 by Congress candidate Partap Singh Bajwa with 8,342 …
