Shared excerpts from Lok Milni on X
Sharing some excerpts from this Lok Milni, Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann wrote on Twitter, “Shared the words of the heart with the people in village Jindwadi of Sri Anandpur Sahib. Traditional parties have always done politics of chair and familism, but our government is working for the common people. We have given jobs to the youth on merit, best education, 14,000 km of pipeline to deliver canal water to the fields and free electricity. To accelerate the development of villages. We also handed over checks of Rs 20 lakh each to six panchayats. Our sole aim is to make 'Inquilab Zindabad' prosperous.
target opposition parties
Addressing the gathering during the public meeting, Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said, "During the tenure of our government for more than four and a half years, we have worked diligently for the welfare of the people of the state and the progress of Punjab. On the other hand, the opposition parties have always ruthlessly looted the state and exploited the people by looting their resources. These people deserve no mercy and should be taught a lesson for their sins."
Attack on Akali-BJP alliance
He said, "Till a few days ago, Akali leader Sukhbir Badal was roaming around carrying a flag against the BJP, but now he has come out in force to form an alliance with the BJP to gain power in the state. Their only objective is to destroy the state by gaining power without any ideological similarity, which will be extremely fatal for Punjab. These people are opportunists, who have nothing to do with the state. I appeal to the people to never fall prey to the misleading tactics of these parties who are not concerned about Punjab."
Mention of BJP's anti-Punjab record
Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said, "These parties have a tainted record of working against the state and its people and can never be forgiven. BJP is a victim of anti-Punjab mentality and has always done injustice to Punjab, be it the issue of Panjab University, Chandigarh, Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB), Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) Canal, Harike Canal, Republic Day tableaux, Rural Development Fund (RDF) or border area funds. he adds, "BJP's hands are red with the murder of more than 700 farmers of Punjab who were martyred during the protests against the black agricultural laws."
AAP's expansion and criticism of traditional parties
The Chief Minister said, "AAP is spreading its wings across the country due to its public-friendly and development-oriented policies. The party's victory in the local body elections in Rajasthan is a direct proof of this. Traditional parties have always fooled the common man with their baseless and divisive tactics. Gone are the days when these parties used to play the game of 'get down and climb' and wait for their turn to come to power."
Dawa of cleaning with broom
Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said, "In fact, these parties protected each other's interests during their days in power, due to which their misdeeds never came to light. Today people are choosing 'AAP' and the election symbol of this party 'Broom' is cleaning the political system of the state and the country. Therefore no stone will be left unturned."
Attack on Akali Dal's misgovernance
Taking the Akali Dal to task, the Chief Minister said, "During their long misrule the Akalis committed the sin of sacrilege of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, patronized those guilty of this heinous crime and allowed firing on innocent people. Apart from causing emotional hurt to the psyche of Punjabis and patronizing various mafias in the state, the Akalis ruthlessly looted the state. Every vote given to Akalis will be in favor of sacrilege."
Accused of protecting drug trade
He said, "The Akali leadership can never be forgiven as it was responsible for the genocide of several generations in the state, as the drug trade was patronized and flourished during their long misrule. People will not fall for the misleading propaganda of these parties and will teach them a proper lesson in the coming days."
Accused of pushing youth towards drug addiction
Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said, "During his days in power, he ruthlessly looted the wealth of the state and pushed the youth of Punjab onto the path of drug addiction."
Personal attack on Sukhbir Badal
Taking aim at Akali leader Sukhbir Badal, he said, "Sukhbir Badal is unaware of the ground realities because he has spent his entire life in comforts and luxurious environment. Sukhbir Badal is a convent educated person who does not even know the basic geography of the state, but he wants to gain power in Punjab. Leave aside everything else, the former Deputy Chief Minister cannot even differentiate between the basic crops of the state as he has very little knowledge about the basic issues."
Claim of development by shedding blood and sweat
The Chief Minister claimed, "I am putting in my blood and sweat to ensure unmatched development of the state and with each passing day we are taking many new public welfare initiatives to uplift the standard of living of the people. Unlike the old leaders, I have not asked for a single penny from the government treasury, but have ensured that every rupee of the taxpayers is spent wisely for public welfare."
Claim to work among people
He said, "Being a son and brother of the people, I have focused on sharing the pain and suffering of the people instead of living a luxurious life like the old leaders. No ruler before had come to the people like this to discuss their problems in detail and solve them in a missionary spirit."
Mention of taking feedback while in the field
Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said, "Those arrogant politicians always confined themselves to the high walls of their big mansions instead of meeting the people and now they are nervous with every step of the state government. On the contrary, I have always been in the field to take feedback from the people to formulate development-oriented and citizen-centric policies, which have given a big boost to the development of the state."
Free electricity and daily electricity to farmers
The Chief Minister said, "The AAP government is using every penny of the state treasury for the welfare of the people of the state. More than 90 percent of the families in the state are getting free electricity. Even farmers are getting electricity during the day today, which was never the case before. He said, "People's tax money belongs to the state and we are spending it wisely on the welfare of the people. People's money is coming back to the people through development, schools, hospitals and roads."
Major achievements of the government
Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said, "Punjab government is working for the people and has taken many major initiatives like free electricity to homes, jobs to more than 70,000 youth without corruption, better roads, quality education and health services, creating infrastructure, etc. which were ignored by the old leaders."
Emphasis on sports stadium and education
He said, "To free the youth from the disease of drug addiction, 3,100 sports stadiums are being built in the state. We have given priority to education and have taken revolutionary initiatives in the education sector to transform the lives of people."
Education is the key to get out of poverty
The Chief Minister said, "No amount of freebies or concession cards can eliminate poverty or other social evils from the state, but education is the key that can lift people's living standards and get them out of this cycle. For this reason, our government is making continuous efforts to improve the level of education to empower the common man. He said, "For the convenience of the people of the state, 45,000 kilometers of roads are being repaired and upgraded. Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said, "After I assumed office, the area under canal irrigation has increased to 80 percent, which has greatly benefited the farmers."
Mention of Chief Minister Health Scheme
The Chief Minister said, "To provide comprehensive health services to the people, the State Government has launched 'Mukhyamantri Sehat Yojana', the first of its kind in the country, which provides cashless treatment up to Rs 10 lakh for every resident family of Punjab. It is a matter of great pride and satisfaction that Punjab is the first Indian state to provide such comprehensive health coverage, which has significantly reduced the financial burden on the general public while ensuring quality health services."
Benefits of Mavan Dhiyaan Satkar Yojana
The Chief Minister further said, "Under 'Mavan Dhiyan Satkar Yojana', from July 1, every female beneficiary above 18 years of age will be given Rs 1,000 and S.C. In case of women, they are receiving notifications on their mobiles regarding financial assistance of Rs 1,500. These funds will be transferred directly into bank accounts and women already receiving social security pension will also be eligible. 97 percent women of Punjab have benefited from this scheme and the state government has allocated Rs 9,300 crore in the budget.
