Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Sunday continued his government’s development push across Punjab, unveiling projects worth ₹28.68 crore in Faridkot’s Jaito, including the upgradation of the Community Health Centre into a 30-bed hospital and key investments in drinking water and sports infrastructure, while asserting that the 2022 mandate for the ‘jhaadu’ (AAP's electoral symbol) has begun realising the dreams of Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh.
He sharpened his attack on the BJP, Congress and Akali Dal, questioning their record in power and accusing them of promoting nepotism and criminal elements in politics, while also taking aim at the Centre over poverty and rising hardships.
Announcing that a special session on April 13 will enact a stringent anti-sacrilege law with provisions of no bail for one year and life imprisonment, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann declared the 2027 elections as a clear choice, saying the Congress symbolises the legacy of anti-Sikh riots, the Akali Dal stands discredited, and AAP represents a governance-driven alternative committed to building a “Rangla Punjab.”
Addressing a gathering after laying the foundation stone of several development projects, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “The land of Jaito has always written history, and it deserves our salute. Whether it is literature or struggle, whenever the need arose in any field, Jaito has always stepped forward and stood at the forefront.”
The Chief Minister asserted, “Every vote casted to Akalis will be mandate in favor of sacrilege of Guru and Gurbani.” He said that the Akalis had bruised the psyche of every individual through the desecration of Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, adding, “Akalis had disrespected the bani of the great Guru Sahiban and ordered firing on the innocents in Behbal Kalan and Bargadi. They have shown grave disrespect to Sri Akal Takht Sahib.” He further stated, “Jathedars of Sri Akal Takht Sahib are selected and removed from their pockets, which is totally unfair.”
