"There is anarchy in Punjab": Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa hits out at AAP's governance

Partap Singh "Today there is anarchy in Punjab. There is no govt here. We do not support the Governor's rule but they (AAP) should know how to run the government."

He also asked Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to make a statement in the Punjab assembly session on 37,100 government jobs provided to youth.

"A comprehensive breakdown of jobs openings, categorized by department, with clarification on whether these positions were pre-existing or newly sanctioned after the AAP government assumed power," he stated.

He further said that a clear delineation of the exact date on which the recruitment process for these positions was formally initiated.

"An unambiguous identification of the agency responsible for overseeing this process, whether it is the Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC), the Punjab Subordinate Services Selection Board (PSSSB), or an alternative administrative mechanism," he stated.

Earlier, terming the arrest of former Congress MLA Kulbir Singh Zira as vendetta politics' by the Aam Admi Party-led Punjab government, the Leader of Opposition in the Punjab Assembly Partap Singh Bajwa said that the arrogance of the power-drunk Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is going out of control.

In a post on X (former Twitter), Partap Singh Bajwa said, "The arrogance of power-drunk Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann is going out of control now. After the illegal arrest of the fearless Congress MLA Sukhpal Khaira, the AAP Punjab government has arrested the former Congress MLA Kulbir Singh Zira without following the due legal course."

"The Punjab Congress will not tolerate this and will fight tooth and nail against the vendetta politics of the AAP government," he added.

Hours after former Congress MLA Kulbir Singh Zira was arrested by police, his supporters staged a protest and sat on strike outside the Central Jail in Firozpur on Tuesday against his arrest. (ANI)
