Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has reiterated Punjab's stance on water sharing, emphasizing that the state lacks surplus water to share with other regions. His comments were made during a special session in the Punjab Assembly.
Mann highlighted how water is a sensitive issue for Punjab and underscored the government's commitment to conserving water resources. The discussion came amid a backdrop of historical neglect in reviewing water allocations, a task that ideally should occur every 25 years.
He criticized the opposition for misleading the public and accused them of colluding with anti-Punjab forces. Mann further condemned political factions like the Congress and BJP for fostering division, arguing that political motives should not overshadow the urgent need for water management reforms.
