Opposition has nothing for Punjab, AAP will form government again in 2027: Bhagwant Mann

Launching a scathing attack on Shiromani Akali Dal, Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said that these opposition parties have no constructive agenda for the people of the state. He claimed that the Aam Aadmi Party will form the government again in the 2027 assembly elections.

Addressing a gathering, the Chief Minister alleged that the opposition parties prioritize personal interests and acquisition of power instead of public welfare. He said that the people have clearly seen the difference between selfish politics and a development-oriented government's functioning, and he hopes that the people will continue to repose faith in his government in the future as well.

Slamming the Shiromani Akali Dal, Bhagwant Mann said that the party could not give any reply on the painful cases of sacrilege and has now been reduced to just the Badal family and a few close associates. Mentioning the Congress, he said that it is a victim of infighting and its own leaders are entangled with each other.

Mentioning the 'Mukhyamantri Mawan-Dhiyan Satikar Yojana' launched by his government, the Chief Minister stated that over 80 lakh women have registered themselves under this scheme till October 29. According to him, financial assistance of over Rs 1,291 crore has been sent to the bank accounts of more than 37.43 lakh beneficiaries so far and the government's target is to bring one crore women under its ambit.

He said that under this scheme, every eligible woman will get financial assistance without any conditions and financial help of Rs 12,000 crore annually will be provided. The Chief Minister expressed confidence that the people of the state will reject the misleading propaganda of the opposition parties and support the politics of development, transparency and public welfare.

On the other hand, Bhadaur MLA Labh Singh Uugoke, after being declared the party candidate again for 2027, expressed confidence that the government will return to power under the leadership of Bhagwant Mann. He challenged former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi to contest elections from Bhadaur constituency again to see.
