The Chief Minister said that the incident of deporting of youth from the USA is an eye opener for all of us that instead of going abroad in search of green pastures, the youth of the state must work hard here only and achieve success in various fields. He said that the state government is already making concerted efforts to ensure that maximum opportunities are provided to youth so that they can excel in every arena of life. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the hard work of youth coupled with their dedication will provide them success in the coming days.

He said that specially trained, freshly recruited 1597 personnel including girls are acting as the backbone to this force, who have been provided with the latest, fully equipped 144 vehicles and since its launch in February last year the state has witnessed a 48.10% reduction in casualties due to accidents. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that several other states and even the Government of India has hailed this out of the box initiative of the state government.

The Chief Minister said that health, education, power, water and infrastructure along with law and order are the top priorities of his government.

OPPOSITION LEADERS DESPERATE TO OCCUPY CM HOUSE THROUGH TANTRUMS: CM

SAYS BITTU THINKS HE HAS ANCESTRAL RIGHT OVER CMR

SLAMS TRADITIONAL PARTIES FOR BEING ENVIOUS OF COMMON MAN’S GOVERNMENT

Chandigarh, March 5:Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Wednesday said that the leaders from opposition parties are desperate to occupy CM residence for which they are indulging in various tantrums.

Addressing the gathering after handing appointment letters to youth, the Chief Minister quipped that the opposition leaders are hungry to occupy the official residence of the CM for which they are indulging in various theatricals. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that this house belongs to 3.5 crore people of the Punjab and only the person elected by them has a privilege of serving them and living in this house. He said that as a matter of fact people do not elect such power hungry leaders with dubious character, who have never bothered about the people.

Citing an example, the Chief Minister said that Union Minister of state Ravneet Singh Bittu thinks that he has ancestral right on this property of people as his grandfather had once remained CM. He said that these rejected leaders will never be accepted by people and their dream to occupy the official residence of the Chief Minister with all these tantrums will be of no use. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that this is the house of the masses, who elect and send the leaders here, but people will never elect these politicians who have no concern for people.

The Chief Minister reiterated that the traditional parties are envious of him because he hails from a common family adding that these leaders who had always believed that they have divine right to rule the state are not able to digest that a common man is running the state efficiently. He said that these leaders have befooled the people since independence by depriving them of even the basic necessities due to which people had ousted them. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that it is a fact that these convent educated political leaders are not even aware of the basic ground realities of the state.
