Hoshiarpur, November 18
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Saturday said that the people of the state are so fed up with the opposition autocratic leaders that they have made up their mind to give all the 13 seats of the state and one of Chandigarh in upcoming general elections to the AAP. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the Akali Dal Chief is open to file any defamation case against him adding that he will welcome this case to expose the misdeeds of the Badal family before the people.
Multitudes of people on Saturday gave a massive response to the pro-people and development-oriented schemes of the state government by participating in ‘Vikas Kranti’ rally by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Addressing the gathering after inaugurating, laying the foundation stone and announcing developmental projects worth Rs 867 Crore as a gift to the people of Hoshiarpur, the Chief Minister said that it is a historic occasion when the fortunes of the entire Kandi region is being transformed. He said that these projects will give impetus to the development of this region and bring prosperity in the lives of people. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the previous governments had blatantly ignored this region but his government is committed to its holistic development.
The Chief Minister said that now the complete transformation is being witnessed in hospitals, schools and new medical colleges are coming up for the well-being of the common man. He said that these decisions are being taken only by those who are aware about the problems of the people at grass root levels. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the traditional political parties have ruined the state and now they are shamelessly making huge talks of morality.
The Chief Minister said that Sukhbir Badal and his cotrie had sold the interests of the state, ruined the lives of the common man and now they are insulting the youth of Punjab by saying that AAP is the party of Vagabonds (Malangs). The Chief Minister said that the traditional parties are envious of him because he hails from a common family and is working tirelessly to ensure welfare of people. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that these leaders had always believed that they have divine right to rule the state due to which they are not able to digest that a common man is running the state efficiently. He said that these leaders have befooled the people for a long time but now people are not getting swayed by their misleading propaganda.
Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the people of Gurdaspur Lok Sabha segment, which is adjoining Hoshiarpur, are even waiting to see the face of their MP Sunny Deol, who was elected on BJP ticket from the seat in 2019.
Meanwhile, addressing the gathering Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal solicited fulsome support and cooperation of the people to strengthen the hands of Bhagwant Mann government. He said that this is the need of hour to continue the ongoing pace of development and prosperity in the state. Arvind Kejriwal said that the Punjab government is making exemplary efforts for welfare of every section of the society.
The Delhi Chief Minister reminded people that neither former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal nor Captain Amarinder Singh had ever bothered to visit Hoshiarpur after assuming the charge of office. Likewise, he said that Union Minister for State, Som Parkash, also abandoned Hoshiarpur after becoming MP from here. However, Arvind Kejriwal said that after assuming charge of office the Punjab Chief Minister is visiting this area again and again to give a boost to its development.
The Delhi Chief Minister said that Punjab is scoring new heights in every arena and this is a record in itself. He said that in the form of Bhagwant Singh Mann Punjab has got the best Chief Minister ever for the state as he is working untiringly for the welfare of every section of society. Arvind Kejriwal said that Punjab is making rapid progress in every arena which is unprecedented and unmatched.
