SARDULGARH; 5th October 2026:

Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Sunday asserted that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government would continue its people-centric policies, including 'Mawan Dheeyan Satkar Yojna' for women, free electricity for households, daytime power supply for farmers and government recruitment through a transparent “No Cash, No Farmaish” system, while pointing out to the BJP, Congress and Akali Dal’s opposition of these public welfare measures and lacking a clear vision for Punjab. During a Lok Milni programme in Sardulgarh Halqa, he said his government had delivered more than it had promised, transforming government schools, expanding public facilities and creating an environment in which athletes from Punjab’s villages were bringing home Olympic medals.

Addressing the Lok Milni programme, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the people of Punjab had witnessed a fundamental change in the functioning of government, with public money increasingly being channelled towards welfare, education, healthcare, electricity, irrigation and employment. “The happiness reflected on the faces of women whenever financial assistance reaches their bank accounts is a testimony to the impact of welfare-oriented governance. Our government will never let the notifications on the mobile phones of Punjab’s mothers and sisters stop. As long as the state government is serving the people, the assistance meant for women will continue to reach their bank accounts,” he added.

The Chief Minister said the Mukh Mantri Mawan-Dhiyan Satkar Yojna was designed to provide direct financial assistance to eligible women and that the state government had recently transferred the second instalment of ₹1,262.54 crore to 36.87 lakh women, covering three months. He said, “The objective of our government is not merely to make announcements but to ensure that welfare schemes actually reach people. The real meaning of governance is when a woman sitting in a village receives a message on her phone that money has been deposited in her account.”

He said, “Such a message gives her confidence that the government stands with her and no stone will be left unturned for this noble cause aimed at their welfare.”

Taking on the Congress, BJP and Shiromani Akali Dal, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann pointed out that these parties are opposed to the monthly financial assistance being provided to women. He said, “Those who ruled Punjab for decades should tell the people what they did for the economic empowerment of ordinary women. Today, when women are receiving direct financial assistance, these parties are questioning the scheme.”

“But our government has made its position absolutely clear that the welfare of Punjab’s mothers and daughters cannot be compromised,” he said.

The Chief Minister affirmed that his government has placed women, farmers, youth and students at the centre of its governance model rather than allowing the benefits of government schemes to remain confined to a few influential sections. He said, “The responsibility of the government is to collect taxes from the people and use that money transparently for public welfare and development.”

He said that the AAP government has repeatedly made it clear that public revenue must be channelled back into development works, welfare and essential services. CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “The 300 units of free electricity per month for eligible domestic consumers will continue. The government has provided substantial relief to households through this scheme. For years, electricity bills were a major burden on ordinary families, but today eligible households are receiving relief in the form of zero bills.”

He said, “This is the difference between a government that talks about the people and a government that actually works for them.”

The Chief Minister also said that farmers will continue to receive daytime electricity for agricultural purposes, stressing that reliable power supply was essential for Punjab’s agricultural economy. He said, “Farmers will continue to receive daytime electricity for agriculture. Reliable power supply is essential for Punjab’s agricultural economy.”

Highlighting the steps taken to strengthen Punjab’s own power infrastructure, he referred to the purchase of the Goindwal Sahib thermal power plant as part of the government’s efforts in this direction. He said, “The farmers of the state deserve electricity when they need it, not when someone sitting in an office decides to give it to them. Daytime power for agriculture will continue.”

On employment, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that employment opportunities had been one of the central priorities of his government and that the recruitment process had been transformed so that young people could compete on merit without having to pay money or seek political recommendations.

He said, “The youth of the state should not have to carry money in their pockets or a recommendation letter in their hands to get a government job. Their qualification, ability and merit is enough. The system of providing government jobs without cash and without recommendation will not stop.”

CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that his government has sought to restore the confidence of young people in the recruitment process and create an environment in which a student from an ordinary family could aspire to a government job solely on the strength of merit. He said that the state government has provided more than 70,000 jobs to the youth completely in a transparent manner. “For a poor family, the appointment letter of a son or daughter is not just a piece of paper but changes the future of the entire family,” he said.

CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the transformation of government schools is another major achievement of his government, adding that the state government does not accept the idea that children studying in government schools should receive second-class facilities. He said, “We invested in infrastructure, smart classrooms, teacher training and better learning environments. The result is that Punjab has moved from the lower ranks to the top in the school education assessment cited by the state government.”

He said that the government’s education reforms has changed the aspirations of students from ordinary families. “Earlier, a child from a poor family was often told to compromise with circumstances, but now they are dreaming of becoming a doctor, engineer, civil servant or Olympian. This is the real transformation of Punjab,” he said.

CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that his government has also focused on competitive-examination preparation and opportunities for students from government schools. He said, “We want children from ordinary families to have the opportunity to compete and move ahead on the strength of their ability and hard work.”

He said that the emergence of athletes from rural Punjab is proof that talent had never been lacking in the state, adding that what was often missing was infrastructure and opportunity. “Punjab’s villages have always had talent and our responsibility is to provide that talent with grounds, coaches, equipment and opportunities,” CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said.

The Chief Minister said, “Once facilities began reaching villages, the children of those villages started reaching national and international platforms and bringing medals for the country. Sports should not be viewed merely as recreation but as an important instrument for channelising the energy of young people.”

He said, “A playground can save a young person from going in the wrong direction and a good coach can change a child’s life. A medal won by a Punjabi youngster brings pride not only to one family but to the entire state.”

CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that his government has delivered more than it had promised. He said, “Our government came to the people with promises, but we did not stop at promises. We delivered free electricity, better government schools, healthcare initiatives, employment, canal water, infrastructure and financial assistance for women. All these initiatives are part of a larger transformation.”

He said that the government had attempted to make governance more accessible by taking administration directly to the people through programmes such as Lok Milni. “I have not come here to sit on a stage and listen only to prepared speeches. I have come to listen directly to the people. Their problems, their suggestions and their expectations are the real agenda of the government,” CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said.

Taking a sharp dig at the BJP, Congress and Akali Dal, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that these parties are increasingly focusing on criticism of the government instead of presenting an alternative roadmap for Punjab. He said, “The people of Punjab want to know what is their vision for Punjab? What will they do for women? What will they do for farmers? What will they do for youth? What will they do for government schools? What will they do to strengthen healthcare?”

He said, “Instead of answering these questions, they simply oppose whatever work is being done.”

CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the traditional political parties have spent decades in power but had failed to provide a comparable model of public service. He said, “Political parties should come before the people with concrete programmes rather than merely opposing one another. Punjab does not need politics of slogans but the state needs politics of performance. The people are intelligent enough to see who is working and who is only talking.”

He said, “The people of Punjab have a right to demand accountability from every political party and the next phase of Punjab’s development has already begun.”

CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that his government will continue working to strengthen every sector of the state and ensure that development reaches villages as well as cities. He said, “The aim of the state government is to build a Punjab where a woman has financial dignity, a farmer has reliable electricity and irrigation, a young person gets employment on merit, a child receives quality education in a government school and a talented sports person gets the facilities needed to win medals.”

CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the people of Punjab gave his government the responsibility to serve them and that they are fulfilling that responsibility with honesty and dedication. “The work that has started will not stop,” he said.

He said, “The notifications on women’s phones will continue, free electricity will continue, daytime power for farmers will continue, merit-based recruitment will continue and the transformation of Punjab will continue.”

CM Bhagwant Singh Mann reiterated that the ultimate measure of governance is the improvement in the everyday lives of ordinary people. He said, “Our government will continue working with the objective of creating a stronger, prosperous and progressive Punjab.”
