Chandigarh, Oct 27 (IANS) The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann are misleading people with false claims and betraying people’s trust during the Tarn Taran by-election, BJP state working president Ashwini Sharma said on Monday.
He said that talking is not enough; It is the responsibility of the government to fulfill the promises made to the people, a responsibility which the AAP government has completely abandoned.
Sharma said that during the 2022 elections, Mann had promised to give Rs 1,000 per month to every woman in Punjab, provide employment opportunities and improve the condition of schools and hospitals. But, even after three years, the people got neither relief nor development.
“Electricity bills have increased, unemployment is increasing and the condition of government hospitals has become even worse.”
The BJP MLA said the government has failed on every front; Farmers are neither getting full compensation nor fair price for their crops.
“Tall claims of curbing drugs and improving law and order exist only on paper. Daily incidents of firing, looting and murder reveal the grim reality of the state.”
Sharma said that Chief Minister Mann often speaks against dynasty politics, yet both he and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal adopt double standards which people can clearly see.
He questioned under what authority CM Mann’s wife Gurpreet Kaur and Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal are campaigning in the Tarn Taran by-election.
“Neither of them hold any government or party post, so how are they attending official and political rallies? This is a clear example of family politics,” Sharma said.
He said that after winning the Jalandhar by-election, Mann had announced that he would reside in Jalandhar to directly listen to the grievances of the public, but that promise was never fulfilled.
“That residence has now become a center for political meetings, while the voice of the common people no longer reaches there,” Sharma said.
