FATEHGARH SAHIB: Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Wednesday asserted that Punjab’s development journey must continue under the AAP government in 2027, contrasting his government’s focus on welfare, free electricity, healthcare, women’s financial empowerment and infrastructure development with what he described as decades of neglect under the Congress, Akali Dal and BJP.
Declaring that the entire state is his family and that government benefits are extended without discrimination, he highlighted the delivery of free power, health insurance and monthly financial assistance to women, while unveiling his vision of making Punjab pole-free by shifting electricity wires underground. Taking a swipe at political leaders frequently switching parties, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann called them “chameleons” and cautioned Punjabis against opportunists who change loyalties for political gains.

Addressing a massive public gathering, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “Our government has both the will and the intent to ensure the holistic development of Punjab. There is no shortage of funds for development and public welfare. We have given a major push to development across the state and will leave no stone unturned to accelerate this progress with the wholehearted support and cooperation of the people.”

Launching a sharp attack on the Congress, Shiromani Akali Dal and BJP, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “These traditional political parties have become political deadwood and have repeatedly been rejected by the people of Punjab. For decades, they remained in power but failed to address the problems of ordinary people. Their only objective was to exploit Punjab’s resources and plunder the hard-earned money of the people for their vested political interests.”

CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “The welfare of Punjab’s people will always remain at the centre of our decisions. We will continue working with sincerity and dedication to build a prosperous, equitable and corruption-free Punjab. With the continued support of the people, we will ensure that the development journey of Punjab moves forward with even greater momentum.”
