He solicited fulsome support and cooperation of the people to strengthen the hands of Bhagwant Mann government. He said that this is the need of hour to continue the ongoing pace of development and prosperity in the state adding that the Punjab government is making exemplary efforts for welfare of every section of the society.
Arvind Kejriwal reminded people that none of the former Chief Ministers had ever bothered to visit this border town during their regimes due to which it lagged behind in pace of development. However, he said that after assuming charge of office the Punjab Chief Minister has given a boost to its development. He categorically said that Punjab is scoring new heights in every arena and this is a record in itself.
Arvind Kejriwal said that in the form of Bhagwant Singh Mann Punjab has got the best Chief Minister ever for the state as he is working untiringly for the welfare of every section of society. He said that Punjab is making rapid progress in every arena which is unprecedented and unmatched. He also lauded Bhagwant Singh Mann government for transforming the government schools into School of Eminence.
Arvind Kejriwal said that no private school will be as magnificent as this government school, adding that all the government schools will be renovated in the same manner. Arvind Kejriwal said that in the last more than three years the Bhagwant Singh Mann government has brought major revolution in the state in all sectors whereas none of the previous governments had bothered about it. He urged the people to give mandate in favor of the pro-people policies of the state government by electing AAP candidate Harmeet Singh Sandhu.
Meanwhile, in his address, the Chief Minister said that the state government has taken several historic initiatives due to which the people will vote for the party in the bye-poll. Coming down heavily on the opposition, he said that these leaders plundered the resources of the state for their vested political interests. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that these leaders had built their own palaces and empires of business at the cost of the people and the state.
The Chief Minister said that these leaders have sown thorns before the Punjab and its younger generations by derailing the progress and prosperity of the state. He said that for the sake of their vested interests these selfish political leaders have caused distress to the state. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the hands of these leaders are drenched with this crime against the state and history will never forgive them for backstabbing Punjab.
The Chief Minister unequivocally said that any person who has looted even a single penny of the public will be made accountable to people. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that he will expose all such plunderers and severe action will be taken against them, as per the law. He said that it is the firm commitment of his government that a corrupt leader or officer, however affluent he may be, will be brought to book and made accountable for his sins.
The Chief Minister also slammed the Congress and Akalis for patronizing the gangsters in the state for their vested political interests. He unequivocally said that these gangsters have not mushroomed up after his government has assumed charge of office. But, Bhagwant Singh Mann said that as a fact of matter these gangsters have been patronized by the Congress and Akali leaders during their government as these leaders and parties used these youth for their vested interests by handing over guns to them.
The Chief Minister said that the traditional political parties are envious of him because they are not able to digest that the son of a common man is governing the state effectively. He said that the people of the state have lost their faith in the traditional political parties because of their anti-people and anti-Punjab stance. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the people of the state will forgive these parties who have ruined the state or used the tanks to attack Sri Harmandir Sahib.
The Chief Minister said that moreover these people patronized the chitta trade in the state which led to the genocide of generations of the state.He reiterated that the state government will adopt no leniency towards the ‘Jarnails’ who were the perpetrators behind the genocide of youth through the curse of drugs. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that those leaders who had patronized the drug trade have already been put behind bars adding these leaders not only used to patronize drug trade across the state but ironically they even sold/ supplied the drugs in their official government vehicles.
The Chief Minister said that in the past no one had previously dared to arrest these affluent leaders, but now his government has done so and they will have to pay the price for their sins. He said that, surprisingly, when this Akali leader was arrested, the unholy nexus between the political parties was exposed as they cried for human rights violations and demanded special cells and facilities for the accused. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that these leaders who were responsible for the genocide of the youth will not be spared at any cost.
