Punjab BJP president Sunil Jakhar criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government for prioritizing propaganda over state development. Jakhar stated that the government’s focus on organizing special sessions of the Vidhan Sabha resembled an event management company rather than addressing the state’s issues.
Jakhar highlighted the government’s failure to showcase achievements and its continuous rollout of new propaganda initiatives. He specifically criticized the upcoming special session on December 30, aimed at opposing the VB-G RAM G Act, as another instance of this trend.
The BJP leader urged the government to use the Assembly’s special sessions to address the state’s deteriorating law and order situation. He emphasized the need to discuss the rising incidents of murders and extortion threats reported daily across Punjab.
During Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s recent visit to Punjab, allegations of corruption in government schemes were brought to light by people from various districts. Jakhar called on the Chief Minister to provide a detailed account of the alleged corruption that occurred in the state under these schemes over the past four years.
Jakhar accused the government of misleading underprivileged individuals by collecting forms and thumb impressions without fulfilling the promised four years of employment. He questioned the government’s resistance to the Central government’s efforts to curb corruption in the schemes and extend the employment period to 125 days.
Challenging the Chief Minister, Jakhar emphasized the importance of effectively implementing the scheme to ensure that all individuals receive the guaranteed 125 days of employment. He urged the state government to cease misleading the impoverished population and focus on transparently executing welfare programs.
