Punjab CM hits out at Pratap Bajwa; don’t indulge in politics of fear

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Monday warned the leaders of opposition parties to refrain from indulging in politics of threat and terror as people will never tolerate their divisive and mischievous attitude. The Chief Minister said that a senior leader of the Congress party had on Sunday given a baseless and irrational statement that 50 bombs have been sneaked into the state out of which 18 had exploded and 32 more are still there. He said that this illogical statement was solely aimed at terrorizing the people and creating panic amongst their minds. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that this is intolerable, unwarranted and undesirable as the people of state will never forgive such leaders. The Chief Minister said that neither state nor central agencies have any input in this regard but the Congress leader has made this false and irrelevant statement. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that this kind of apathetic and irresponsible attitude of the unwarranted and undesirable. Taking a jibe, he said that rather than telling the location of bombs Bajwa is now running pillar to post behind the lawyers for seeking refuge from law for his misdeed. The Chief Minister said that instead of indulging in such tantrums the opposition must focus on issue based politics. He said that the traditional parties are envious of him because he hails from a common family and is working tirelessly to ensure welfare of people. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that these leaders had always believed that they have divine right to rule the state due to which they are not able to digest that a common man is running the state efficiently. The Chief Minister said that these leaders have befooled the people for a long time but now people are not getting swayed by their misleading propaganda. He said that wise people of state have ousted these leaders who were living in palatial houses during their heydays of power. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the state has witnessed the dawn of a new era as these people who were considered invincible have been shown the door by the people. The Chief Minister said that those who claimed that they will rule the state for 25 hours have been sent to political oblivion by the people. He said that the people of state had taught them a befitting lesson to such dubious and haughty leaders for their misdeeds. Bhagwant Singh Mann quipped that these people living in big palaces had never bothered about the well being of the common man and had confined them in high walls of their residences.
