Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said that for the first time such a government has come in Punjab, which is focusing on working for the people day and night. He said that his government has won the trust of the people through the work of four and a half years. Referring to providing electricity and canal water to farmers during the day, saving Rs 15,000 per month to every family through government schemes and payment immediately after the purchase of paddy, the CM said that the record of his government speaks for itself.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said that efforts to malign his image and question his honesty have failed. The Chief Minister said that after the raid on his office, the CBI had to return empty handed. He reiterated that the doors of his house will always be open for the people of Punjab.
Canal water to 88 percent fields
Sharing his views on 'X', Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann wrote, “Today I shared my thoughts and heartfelt words with my people in the public meeting held in the revolutionary village Mimsa of Dhuri assembly constituency. Contrary to the empty claims of the previous governments, we have done great work at the grassroots level. Electricity during the day to farmers, canal water to 88 percent of the fields for irrigation, 70,685 government jobs, free health services and zero electricity bills to every family. The monthly financial assistance being given to mothers and sisters through 'Mavan Dhiyan Satkar Yojana' is a symbol of their proper respect.
Addressing the 'Lok Milni' programme, Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “The people of Punjab have seen the difference between governments that make promises and governments that deliver results. We have won their trust with our work in the last four and a half years. Every penny of the exchequer belongs to the public and we are ensuring that the money goes back to them through development, better public services and public welfare initiatives.”
The Chief Minister said, “Every penny of the exchequer belongs to the public and we are spending it wisely on the welfare of the people. The public money is reaching back to the people through the state's development, schools, hospitals and roads. More than 90 per cent of households are getting free electricity and electricity is being provided to farmers during the day. This has never happened before in the history of Punjab.”
70 lakh rupees are being saved
He said, “Our government is working for the people. We have given government jobs to more than 70 thousand youth without corruption, have improved roads, strengthened schools and hospitals and closed toll plazas, due to which the passengers are saving Rs 70 lakh per day. Earlier this money was spent unnecessarily. We are also developing villages and building sports stadiums, so that our youth can improve their future by focusing on sports.” Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “Health services should be within the reach of every family. Through 'Mukhyamantri Sehat Yojana', we are providing cashless treatment up to Rs 10 lakh per family. The aim of this initiative is to ensure that people can get quality medical treatment without worrying about hospital bills.”
Women are being given financial assistance of Rs 1,500
Speaking about 'Mavan Dhiyan Satkar Yojana', he said that financial assistance of Rs 1,000 and Rs 1,500 to Scheduled Caste women are being given every month from July 1 to eligible women aged 18 years and above. The CM said, “This amount has been transferred directly into their bank accounts. Women already receiving social security pension are also eligible for this scheme.” He further said that 97 percent women of Punjab are expected to get the benefits of this scheme. For this, a provision of Rs 9,300 crore has been made in the budget.
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “Our government is committed to ensuring dignity and financial assistance to women. Under the 'Mavan Dhiyan Satkar Yojana', eligible women are getting assistance directly in their bank accounts. With 97 percent women expected to get the benefit, the scheme is providing proper financial assistance to families across Punjab.”
