Punjab wants Himachal and Uttarakhand Model exemptions
THE Punjab Chief Minister wants excise exemptions similar to those given for neighbouring Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. He is concerned with industries in Punjab shifting base to these states disturbing the level playing field. He feels that the concession to the other states is a deterrent to economic growth of Punjab. Now if this concession is given to Punjab, can it be denied to Haryana? Maybe politicians in Telangana are not aware of this concession or maybe they are waiting for the State to be formed. Regional imbalances of the economic kind are sure to haunt the FM in the days to come!
