Chandigarh, April 3
The content displayed on the inaugural plaques of 109 new Aam Aadmi Clinics, along with the launch of two major irrigation projects in Fatehgarh Sahib on March 28, clearly establishes that the Punjab Government is being run by Delhi-based Aam Aadmi Party leaders rather than Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and his Cabinet colleagues, said Ashwani Sharma, Working State President, Bharatiya Janata Party, Punjab
Elaborating on his statement, Sharma pointed out that Aam Aadmi Party Supremo Arvind Kejriwal’s name was placed prominently at the top of both inauguration plaques, even above the name of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and his Cabinet Ministers. This, he said, is a clear indication of external control over Punjab’s governance.
Raising a pertinent constitutional question, Sharma asked under what authority the name of a leader who holds no official position in the Punjab Government is being inscribed on government-funded public projects. He stated that such actions have raised serious concerns among the people of Punjab.
Sharma further said it is unfortunate that the CM Bhagwant Mann, the Cabinet, and elected MLAs have remained silent while practices like these undermine the dignity and autonomy of Punjab’s democratic institutions. He termed this as direct interference by Delhi-based leadership in the functioning of the state.
Calling it a matter of Punjab’s pride and self-respect, Sharma asserted that such actions create a sense of external imposition reminiscent of historical subjugation. He demanded that CM Mann, his cabinet ministers and all AAP MLAs provide a clear explanation and take immediate steps to uphold the constitutional sanctity and dignity of Punjab.
