Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann Blasts Rival Parties Over 'Anti-Punjab' Policies

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann launched a scathing critique of traditional political parties, alleging decades of betrayal against the state. Speaking at a 'Lok Milni' event in Samrala, Mann accused the BJP, Akali Dal, and Congress of fostering divisive politics and corruption.

Mann specifically targeted the BJP for its educational policies, claiming the party's decision to prioritize Sanskrit over Punjabi in Army schools reflects its 'anti-Punjab' mindset. He criticized the party for instigating communal tensions and marginalizing Punjab on various developmental issues.

Calling upon the public to reject divisive forces, Mann emphasized his government's commitment to development and transparency. He contrasted this with past administrations, which he claims were disconnected from the people. Mann pledged to use public funds judiciously to benefit Punjab's citizens.
