Prove corruption or quit politics: CM Mann challenges opposition
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has challenged opposition leaders to prove even a single corruption charge against him or quit politics. He said this while distributing appointment letters to youth in Mohali.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has challenged the opposition parties to prove even a single corruption charge against him or else quit politics.
The Chief Minister handed over appointment letters to 801 newly recruited youth in Mohali on Tuesday. He claimed that the total number of government jobs given by the Aam Aadmi Party government has now reached 71,777.
Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister alleged that opposition parties are left with no solid issues, which is why they are spreading false propaganda against the government. He said that opposition leaders are rattled by the public welfare works being done by the government.
The Chief Minister said that the opposition parties are leveling baseless allegations of looting the exchequer against him, whereas every single penny of the government treasury is being spent on the welfare of common people.
Slamming the Congress and the Akali Dal, Bhagwant Mann said that both these parties have pushed the state into an economic and social crisis with their selfish politics. He said that traditional leaders are unable to tolerate the work being done in public interest by a person from an ordinary household.
Later, sharing information on the social media platform 'X', the Chief Minister wrote that all these jobs have been given without any cost and entirely on the basis of merit. He also said that due to reforms in the education sector, Punjab has secured the first position across the country in the field of primary education.
