Chaos in Congress in Punjab
Chief Minister Honor Said, “No leader in the Congress is ready to stand with the other because everyone wants to become the Chief Minister without caring about the people. The Congress leadership claims that all their leaders will go on a bus yatra, which will be flagged off by Rahul Gandhi. The CM taunted that they can go together, but they will definitely not come back together as they are plagued by internal fighting.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann also targeted Akali Dal. He said, “Akali Dal wants to grab power by making false promises to the people, but the people of Punjab will not fall for their misleading propaganda. Akali leaders have lost their base. They bring people by paying money to attract crowds in their rallies. The entire state knows their real face.
He said, “Those who were once considered invincible, today are not able to find even five members to form their party committee. He alleged that these leaders gave shelter to gangsters in the state and by patting the backs of drug smugglers, they pushed the youth into the quagmire of drugs.
The Chief Minister said, “People’s money is going back to the people through development, schools, hospitals and roads. Our government is working for the people. We have given free electricity to 90 per cent of households, given government jobs to more than 68,000 youth without any corruption, improved roads, saved Rs 70 lakh per day by closing toll plazas and are creating infrastructure across the state.”
Recharge points in canals and rivers

The Chief Minister said, “Due to the tireless efforts of the state government, Punjab has achieved the first position in the country in the field of primary and middle school education, leaving behind Kerala, Maharashtra and Delhi. We have upgraded primary and middle schools, strengthened the education system, started smart classes and provided modern training to teachers.
