These parties are building castles in the air to mislead people, but Punjabis will not be misled anymore as they know their dubious character.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He affirmed, \u201cPeople will never forgive these parties for their sins and will teach them a befitting lesson again. They were elected time and again but they proved to be traitors and always backstabbed Punjab and its people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He asserted that traditional political parties are unable to accept that \u201ca son of a common man\u201d is governing the state effectively. \u201cThese parties are envious because they cannot digest that a common man\u2019s son is running the government successfully. People have lost faith in these traditional parties due to their anti-people and anti-Punjab stance. Earlier rulers were more concerned about their families than Punjab and Punjabis, which is why they have been shown the door,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said these parties seek power only to plunder the state\u2019s wealth. \u201cThey are waiting for their turn in power only to loot Punjab. They are never concerned about the state or its people. Their only aim is to satisfy their lust for power by misusing government machinery. From this stage, we talk about education, health, power and agriculture, while their stages only echo hunger for power,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the disconnect of opposition leaders with the masses, he said, \u201cThese opportunist leaders are baffled as people are not responding to them. Their agenda is limited to their families. They ruled for years but due to incompetence and misrule, people elected the AAP which is working tirelessly for them. These parties have never been loyal to Punjab. They are envious because AAP has set the agenda of welfare of the common people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taking aim at the Akali leadership, he said, \u201cThese parties used to play musical chairs in power and waited for their turn to plunder the country. Sukhbir Badal has lost his base among the masses and paid workers are being used to show crowds. The same people are seen in every rally. Frustrated by the unprecedented work of this government, he is making irrational statements like the return of dinosaurs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that such statements reflect desperation. \u201cOn the basis of such statements, he is daydreaming of returning to power, which will never happen. These leaders start speaking against me from early morning because I have exposed their reality before the people. The names of Congress and Akalis have become so discredited that even if written on a tree, it would dry up. People must remain cautious,\u201d said CM Bhagwant Singh Mann.<\/p>\n<p>Reiterating AAP government\u2019s commitment, he said, \u201cThese parties mercilessly plundered the wealth of the people and will never be forgiven. On the other hand, the Punjab Government is working for the welfare of every section of society and is judiciously utilising every penny. \u20b9190 crore is being spent on developing 3100 playgrounds to channelise youth energy positively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting healthcare initiatives, he said, \u201cUnder the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna, health cards are being issued to 65 lakh families. Every family is entitled to free treatment up to \u20b910 lakh. Over 31 lakh beneficiaries have received cards and 1.65 lakh people have availed free treatment. People must take maximum benefit of this scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On agriculture and power, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, \u201cFor the first time, farmers received more than eight hours of uninterrupted power for tube wells during paddy season. Electricity is now being supplied during the daytime, transforming farmers\u2019 lives. Every penny of public money is being spent for people\u2019s welfare.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that the government has brought structural transformation across sectors. \u201cPeople\u2019s tax money belongs to them and is being spent on schools, hospitals, roads and development. 90% households are receiving free electricity, over 65,000 youth have got jobs without corruption, roads have improved, toll plazas have been closed saving \u20b970 lakh daily, and infrastructure is being strengthened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On irrigation reforms, he said, \u201cWhen we took charge, only 21% canal water was being used. Today it has risen to 68% and will reach 85% by the next paddy season. \u20b96,500 crore has been spent to rejuvenate canals and for the first time 1444 villages are receiving canal water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about social welfare, he said, \u201cThe scheme provides a cash benefit of \u20b91000 per month to women of other categories and \u20b91500 per month to women from Scheduled Castes, for beneficiaries aged 18 years and above. Taxpayers\u2019 money is being returned to people through welfare and development. All guarantees have been fulfilled and efforts for further progress will continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting education, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, \u201cPunjab secured the top position in National Achievement Survey 2024, surpassing even Kerala. 740 students have cleared JEE and 1284 have cleared NEET. 118 Schools of Eminence are being set up and 60 are already functional. For the first time, 24 lakh parents participated in mega PTMs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cAll streams including Medical and Non-Medical are available in government schools. Coaching for Armed Forces, NEET, JEE and CLAT is also being provided. Education is the panacea for society\u2019s problems and we are transforming this sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emphasising the importance of opportunity, he said, \u201cEducation is the key to progress. In the coming time, a person will be considered rich not by wealth but by children\u2019s education. Our children are talented, they only lacked opportunities, which we are now providing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He cited a personal example, stating, \u201cIn 2008-09, I met a girl in Donana village who topped Punjab in class 5 but couldn\u2019t afford education. I arranged sponsorship for her. Today she is a veterinary doctor. This shows our children only need opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On employment, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, \u201cMore than 65,000 government jobs have been given purely on merit without corruption. Youth are becoming active partners in socio-economic development. These works should have been done decades ago, but now Punjab is moving forward with sincerity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Detailing development works, he said, \u201cProjects worth \u20b9283.99 crore have been launched in Fazilka to boost infrastructure, irrigation, connectivity and public services. These include rural link roads, widening and upgradation of roads, renovation of bridges and development of grain markets. No stone will be left unturned for development of this border district and the feasibility of a new medical college will also be explored.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; Traditional parties built on loot, lies &amp; betrayal have no future in Punjab:
