Baltej Pannu<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Punjab Hasn\u2019t Forgotten 2007-17 Jungle Raj, Akalis Have No Moral Right To Lecture People: Baltej Pannu<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(Krishna Raja) CHANDIGARH; 3rd September 2026: <\/strong>Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab Media In-charge Baltej Pannu on Thursday tore into the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), pointing out its leaders are orchestrating a politically motivated campaign to malign Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and his family while deliberately hiding their own political and personal associations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>AAP Punjab Media In-charge Baltej Pannu said the allegations being circulated against the Chief Minister and his family are based on unverified material and that neither the alleged audio recordings nor the claims surrounding them had been independently established. \u201cPunjab knows this politics very well. Character assassination has become their only political weapon because they have no answer to the work being done by the Bhagwant Mann government,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Taking direct aim at the Akali leadership, he questioned why leaders who claimed to know the individuals at the centre of the controversy so well were now approaching the Governor instead of first answering questions about their own associations. \u201cIf you know these people so well, then why this entire drama of going to the Governor? Why not first answer the questions about your own associations?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>*Pannu Puts Photographs Before Media*<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu presented a series of photographs before the media and said they exposed the political connections of people whose names were being used in the ongoing controversy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He showed photographs of Amardeep Grewal with BJP leaders, including J.P. Nadda, Manjinder Singh Sirsa and Ravneet Singh Bittu, and questioned the political proximity of the same individual with senior BJP leaders.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu also showed multiple photographs of Guri Chahal with Sukhbir Singh Badal, Harsimrat Kaur Badal and Bikram Singh Majithia, including photographs from family and social functions. He further referred to photographs of Hundal with Akali leaders, arguing that these were not images of political strangers but of people who had enjoyed proximity to the Akali leadership. \u201cThese photographs are important because the same political ecosystem is now being presented as a source of allegations against the Mann family. The people of Punjab should see these photographs and decide for themselves who is politically connected to whom,\u201d Baltej Pannu said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>*Majithia Must Answer Questions On Satta-Pindi And His Wealth*<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu directly questioned Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia over allegations concerning his association with Satta and Pindi, asking him to explain the relationship these individuals had with him and the Akali leadership and in what capacity they had access to their homes and political circles. \u201cWhat relationship did these individuals have with you and the Akali leadership? In what capacity did they have access to your homes and political circles? Instead of pointing fingers at others, you should first answer these questions about your own associations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Questioning Bikram Singh Majithia\u2019s dramatic rise in wealth, Baltej Pannu said, \u201cWhen you came to Punjab, you had a broken Qualis. How did you become so wealthy within a few years? How did your business empire expand so dramatically? Where did this money come from?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He said the Akali leadership could not evade questions about its own political associations simply by pointing fingers at others.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>*Punjab Has Not Forgotten 2007-17 Jungle Raj*<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu said, \u201cThe people of Punjab have not forgotten the 2007 to 2017 Jungle Raj. When questions were raised against those in power at that time, the Akali leadership did not respond with the urgency that it is demanding from others today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu also attacked the previous regime over the drug crisis, saying that individuals associated with the drug trade had enjoyed political proximity with Akali leaders. \u201cThe people who brought the drug menace to a level where an entire generation suffered are today standing in front of the people and asking questions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>*No Answer To Bhagwant Mann Govt&#8217;s Work, So They Attack Personally*<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu said the opposition had no answers to the transformation carried out by the Bhagwant Mann government and was therefore attempting to shift the political debate towards personal attacks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted free electricity up to 600 units per household, the expansion of canal irrigation and the \u20b910 lakh cashless healthcare scheme as examples of the government\u2019s people-centric work. \u201cThe opposition should instead answer why Punjab\u2019s government schools, hospitals and public transport were allowed to deteriorate during their tenure. The people of Punjab can clearly compare the condition of public services before 2022 with the changes made under the Mann government,\u201d Baltej Pannu said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He particularly pointed to the expansion of canal irrigation and said that the Mann government had substantially increased the use of canal water from 21% to 80%. \u201cThose who previously claimed to be \u2018Punjab de Pania de Rakhe\u2019 should explain where Punjab\u2019s water was going during their governments. Today, canal irrigation has expanded substantially and the people can see the difference,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu also cited improvements in public transport and the transformation of government schools and hospitals, saying that the people of Punjab could clearly see the changes made under the Bhagwant Mann government.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>*No Amount Of Character Assassination Can Hide Bhagwant Mann Govt&#8217;s Work*<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu said the opposition could not erase its own record by repeatedly targeting the Chief Minister and his family. \u201cThe people of Punjab know who these people are, they can see whom they are standing with, and they can also see who is working for Punjab. No amount of character assassination can hide the work of the Bhagwant Mann government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu urged, \u201cShow these photographs to the people. Let Punjab see these associations for itself instead of being fed a one-sided political narrative. The AAP government will not be distracted by personal attacks and will continue to focus on development, public welfare and delivering services to the people of Punjab.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; You Know These People Well, Then What is With Whole Drama?
