Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Tuesday slammed the Union government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for humiliating the mandate of people of state by not inviting their elected government, in functions pertaining to development projects in the state.
Speaking during the session of Punjab Vidhan Sabha, the Chief Minister said that though the Prime Minister is inaugurating the work to upgrade seven Railways Stations in the state but unfortunately the people of Punjab and their government has not been invited in it.
He said that it is surprising that the Prime Minister of the country is stooping too low just for scoring brownie points before the media.
Bhagwant Singh Mann said that such sort of politicization of the events to mark the development of the state should be avoided as it is not in the interest of the country adding that it is a grave insult of the mandate of three crore people who have chosen their government.
The Chief Minister said that it is unfortunate that top leadership of the country is indulging in such cheap tantrums of ‘credit war’. He said that the people of the state are very wise and they know it well that nothing tangible has been done for them at the grass root level.
Bhagwant Singh Mann said that now when the elections are round the corner various sops are being offered to people to mislead them.
