Kharar (SAS Nagar, Mohali):
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday lashed out at opposition for raising questions over his second marriage and said that the tyrannical days of these selfish politicians are over and now every decision is being taken for the well being of the state and its people.
He said that while these people had worked overtime for their own interests, he is working dedicatedly for the people of state.
The Chief Minister said that the hug between Navjot Singh Sidhu and Bikram Singh Majithia reflects the fact that they people are bereft of any ideological commitment and can join hands anytime for securing their political interests. He said that these leaders were trounced badly by the AAP legislature Dr Jiwanjot Kaur due to which they have been now forced to hug each other. Bhagwant Mann quipped that outburst of Leader of opposition Partap Singh Bajwa against young MLAs reflect his frustration as throughout life he had vied for getting chairs but had not succeeded, due to which he is now not able to digest that young people that too from common families have been elected by people.
Describing the entire opposition as a ‘coterie of rejected politicians’, the Chief Minister said that in dearth of any issue against the state government, these leaders are stooping too low by leveling personal allegations against him. He said that his government has locked their shops for looting the people so they have joined their hands to stop a common man from serving the state and its people. Bhagwant Mann dared that the gimmicks of these politicians will not work as people are well aware of their dubious character and they had already given a befitting reply to them by ousting them in the Jalandhar Lok Sabha by-poll.
Earlier, he dedicated the 35th mother and child care centre to the people within a year.
Addressing the gathering after dedicating mother and child care centre here at, the Chief Minister envisioned that this newly constructed hospital at a cost of Rs 8 crore will act as a catalyst to impart quality health care to the pregnant women and newly born child. He said that the move is aimed to ensure that people get quality health services in these hospitals. Bhagwant Mann said that so far 35 hospitals have been dedicated out of total 45 to the people in the last one year adding that more such hospitals will be constructed across the state in coming days.
