People will continue progress by forming AAP govt in 2027: Bhagwant Mann
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann detailed the government's development works in Fatehgarh Sahib and launched sharp attacks on the opposition parties.
Addressing a massive gathering in Fatehgarh Sahib, Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the people of Punjab will hand over power to the Aam Aadmi Party again during the 2027 assembly elections, which will maintain the pace of the state's progress.
The Chief Minister said that for his government, the entire Punjab is like a family and government facilities are being delivered to every citizen without any discrimination. He stated that electricity bills of more than 90 percent of households are coming to zero and farmers are being provided electricity during the day for agriculture. Along with this, he also mentioned the plan to remove poles from the state by laying electricity cables underground.
Presenting government achievements, the Chief Minister said that so far more than 71,000 youths have got government jobs on the basis of merit. Apart from this, more than six lakh new opportunities have been created due to industrial investment. He stated that under the Chief Minister Health Scheme, cashless treatment up to Rs 10 lakh annually is provided to every family. Under the Maavan Dhiyan Satkar Yojana, a monthly assistance of one thousand rupees to adult women and fifteen hundred rupees to Scheduled Caste women is being given.
Regarding the education and agriculture sectors, he stated that the number of children passing the NEET exam from government schools was 80 in 2021, which increased to 882 in 2026. Rs 7,200 crore has been spent on the canal water infrastructure, due to which the area under irrigation has increased from 20.89 lakh acres to 60.30 lakh acres and canal water has reached 1,587 new villages. He said that due to the removal of toll plazas, commuters are saving about Rs 70 lakh daily.
Slamming the Congress, Shiromani Akali Dal and BJP, the Chief Minister said that these traditional parties have misused Punjab's resources for decades. Comparing politicians who change parties to chameleons, the public well recognizes such opportunists. Regarding the possible alliance between the Akali दल and BJP, he said that people will hand them a crushing defeat in the elections.
He termed the cycle march to be taken out by Charanjit Singh Channi as merely a political drama. He said that Congress's own leaders are not in favor of this step because it has nothing to do with the welfare of Punjab.
The Chief Minister said that there will be elaborate arrangements for the Sangat arriving at the annual Shaheedi Sabha dedicated to the unmatched martyrdom of Chote Sahibzaade and Mata Guजरी Ji in Fatehgarh Sahib, which he will monitor himself. Cabinet Ministers Tarunpreet Singh Sond and Hardeep Singh Mundian were also present in this gathering.
