The ruling parties have formed clique with the private business 

Ludhiana 9 October 2013: (Punjab Screen Bureau): The  residents Chand Colony, Mehar Singh Nagar, Haibowal Khurd and colonies around strongly opposed the above mentioned taxes for regularization of their property in the un licensed colonies and property tax on all categories of property.  Addressing the Dharna various speakers pointed out  that successive governments in the past nearly three decades have not launched any housing scheme in major towns and cities, which has led to the proliferation of unauthorised colonies in every part of the state. People had to buy land at exorbitant prices at the mercy of real estate business and private builders. The ruling parties have formed clique with the private business and therefore intentionally did not carve out any housing projects. Even the GLADA has been selling land through auctions thus doing business instead of service to the people. The present government has crossed all the limits and has done nothing even for the very low economic groups. They have done their best to promote the regular revenue sources of earning of the state for their personal gains. Roadways is a glaring example where the busses belonging to the CM and his kins are being given the prime routes at the prime time. This has substantially reduce earning of the state through the state roadways transport services. Government is selling its land to generate money. Now the government has come up with the theory of colonies before 1995. This is a mockery with the people of the state.
