DHURI-Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said Punjab has, for the first time, got a government focused on delivering for its people, asserting that four-and-a-half years of work have earned his government the trust of the people. Highlighting daytime electricity and canal water for farmers, monthly savings of ₹15, 000 for every family through government schemes, and prompt payments for paddy procurement, he said his government’s record speaks for itself. Hitting back at the BJP and other opponents, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said attempts to tarnish his image had failed to undermine his honesty, pointing out that the CBI returned empty-handed after a raid at his office. He reiterated that his doors would always remain open to the people of Punjab.
Taking to X, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated: “Today, I shared my thoughts and heartfelt conversations with my own people at the village gathering in the revolutionary village of Mimsa in Dhuri constituency. It is because of your immense love and support that Dhuri has today become the ‘axis’ of Punjab’s politics. Unlike the empty promises of previous governments, we have delivered tangible work on the ground. With daytime electricity for farmers, 88% coverage of agricultural land through canal irrigation, 70, 685 government jobs, free healthcare and zero electricity bills, every family is benefiting by ₹1.82 lakh annually. The monthly financial assistance being provided to mothers and sisters through the Mawan Dheeyan Satkar Yojna is a recognition of the respect and dignity they rightfully deserve. With your blessings, we will continue to discharge this responsibility of public service, entrusted to us by the Waheguru, with complete honesty and dedication. Inquilab Zindabad.”
Addressing the Lok Milni, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated, “The people of Punjab have witnessed the difference between governments that made promises and a government that is delivering results. We have earned their trust through our work over the past four-and-a-half years. Every penny of the state exchequer belongs to the people, and we are ensuring that their money returns to them through development, better public services and welfare initiatives.”
The Chief Minister said, “Every penny of the state exchequer belongs to the people, and we are judiciously spending their money on their welfare. The people’s money is returning to them through development, schools, hospitals and roads. More than 90% of households are getting free electricity, and farmers are receiving daytime power, something unprecedented in Punjab’s history.”
He said the government had made public service its primary mission and remained committed to Punjab’s progress, unlike previous governments that, in his view, had prioritised their own interests. He added that reliable irrigation and reducing farmers’ financial burden remained central to the government’s agricultural policy. “Punjab has seen governments that were busy serving their own interests. We have made public service our sole mission. Our commitment is to the progress of Punjab, and we will continue working to improve the lives of farmers and every other section of society, ” he said.
Taking on political opponents, he said those unable to challenge his government on performance are resorting to personal attacks and attempts to malign his reputation. “When they cannot find fault with my work or challenge my integrity, they try to defame me. My honesty has become a problem for those accustomed to politics driven by vested interests. But the people of Punjab know the truth, and no amount of political propaganda can erase the work we have done for them, ” said CM Bhagwant Singh Mann.
Referring to the CBI raid at his office, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated, “The BJP thought that raids and pressure would intimidate me, but the CBI returned empty-handed after the raid at my office. I will never compromise on the interests of Punjab and its people. My strength comes from the trust of the people, and I will continue to serve them with honesty and determination.”
The Chief Minister said elected representatives must remain accessible to people instead of confining themselves to offices and formal meetings. He reaffirmed that the doors of his residence had always been open to the people of Punjab and would remain open in the future. “The people of Punjab are not outsiders to me; they are my own family. My doors have always been open to them and will always remain open. The real purpose of holding public office is to listen to people’s grievances, understand their problems and work towards finding solutions, ” he said.
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann reiterated that his government would continue working with dedication, transparency and accountability to fulfil the aspirations of Punjabis. He said the progress achieved so far was a step towards building a prosperous, self-reliant and developed Punjab, where every section of society could live with dignity and confidence. “The people of Punjab will ultimately judge every political party by its record of public service. We will continue to focus on tangible results, transparency and accountability rather than hollow rhetoric. Our commitment is to build a prosperous Punjab where every person can live with dignity and confidence, ” he said.
