Gurdaspur/Chandigarh, Oct 27, 2024 (Yes Punjab News)
On Sunday, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann campaigned for AAP candidate Gurdeep Randhawa in Dera Baba Nanak for the by-elections and appealed to the people to support the AAP candidate.
Addressing the public, Mann criticized Congress, stating that their main focus is to fight among themselves for power, and they don’t care about the public. He said, “They fight for power; we fight for your children’s bright future. We have provided free electricity to the people of Punjab and are building good schools and hospitals.”
To reduce fatalities on the roads, he mentioned the formation of a ‘Road Safety Force’ equipped with the latest vehicles, which has led to a 45% reduction in deaths over the last six months. Due to the SSF, traffic jams have also decreased significantly as they prevent vehicles from lingering unnecessarily on the roads.
Mann stated that in the last two and half years their government has provided over 45,000 jobs to the youth. Thousands of jobs are also being created in the private sector, with many renowned companies establishing plants in Punjab, including Tata Steel, BMW, Sanathan Textiles, Class, Verbio, and Freudenberg.
Regarding the abolition of NOCs in registrations, the Chief Minister said that to solve the problems of the people of Punjab, the AAP government passed a law in the assembly to eliminate the NOC requirement in registrations. He criticized the Congress-Akali government for colluding with builders to create illegal colonies for profit.
Targeting the Akali Dal, Mann remarked that those who claimed they would rule for 25 years now struggle to find four candidates. He accused them of using Gurbani and Baba Nanak for their political gain. He noted that while Akali leaders are now calling Sukhbir Badal a “jarnail,” they should explain what battle he has fought, as he has ruined Punjab and the Akali Dal.
Mann stated that the Badal family only exploited the community’s name. He mentioned the introduction of a tribute practice in Parliament for the young Sahibzadas, which takes place every December 26 before the session begins saying that he demanded tribute in the parliament.
He asserted, “We are not here to make money in politics. We are not looking for shares in dhabas, sand mines, or buses. We want to share in the joys and sorrows of 3.5 crore Punjabis.” Mann also criticized former Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh, saying he never visited Punjab’s mandis while being in office, but is now forced to visit them due to the central BJP government’s issues with paddy procurement.
