AAP has fulfilled every promise made to people of Punjab: Mann
Jalandhar, March 11 -- The AAP government has fulfilled every promise made to the people, Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann said on Tuesday as he held two Lok Milni (public meeting) events to hear the grievances of people of Hoshiarpur and Jalandhar. Addressing the gathering at his Jalandhar residence, the CM also said that state government would continue to honour every assurance in the coming years, asserting that the agenda of the AAP government was to build a Rangla Punjab, marked by progress and prosperity for its people.
"These public interactions, in presence of higher officials, are emerging as a powerful mechanism to directly resolve the grievances of citizens without delay. I will personally review the status of the complaints and the pendency list in periodic meetings," the CM said.
He highlighted the initiatives, such as the Mukh Mantri Mawan Dhian Satkar scheme providing Rs.1,000 to Rs.1,500 monthly assistance to women, the Meri Rasoi Yojana under which 40 lakh families will receive free food kits in addition to wheat under the National Food Security Act.
"Those who are mocking the government do not understand the value of Rs.1,000 for the common man," he said.
Interacting with residents at Ghazipur Mohalla in Adampur, he highlighted the state government's initiatives ranging from free electricity and healthcare schemes to job creation and anti-drug campaign, while accusing the previous regimes of neglecting public welfare and the future of Punjab's youth. "The common man was never on the agenda of these parties as they only safeguarded the interests of the wealthy. During their time in power, they exploited people by illegally demanding shares in successful businesses across the state. These leaders ruined Punjab," CM said.
Taking a dig at the Punjab Bachao Yatra of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), he said the real name of this programme should be "Parivar Bachao Yatra". "After looting the state for 15 years, the Akali leaders must explain from whom they are trying to save Punjab now? They plundered the state mercilessly, damaged the emotional psyche of Punjabis and patronised multiple mafias," he said....
