Decades Of Political Loot Pushed Punjab Back Says CM Bhagwant Singh Mann
Punjab Chief Minister says years of political exploitation weakened the state, and his government is rebuilding Rangla Punjab by strengthening education, stopping migration, and empowering youth in border regions.
Speaking at Ajnala, Bhagwant Singh Mann said Congress, Akali Dal and BJP collectively ruined Punjab. He said these parties ruled for decades. Institutions were hollowed out slowly. Youth lost faith in the system. Jobs disappeared from villages. Education remained neglected. Migration became the only option for many families.
Why Is Unity Crucial Now?
The Chief Minister said Punjab can rise again only through collective effort. Government support alone is not enough. Every Punjabi must contribute according to ability. Social participation is essential. Honest effort can rebuild trust. Unity gives strength to society. Divisions only delay progress. Rangla Punjab needs shared responsibility.
Do Opposition Parties Offer Solutions?
CM Mann said opposition parties lack vision. Internal fights dominate their politics. Public welfare is not their priority. They wait only for power. Punjab suffered because of such thinking earlier. People now recognize these patterns. Voters are alert and aware. Such politics will not succeed again.
Why Is The New College Important?
The Chief Minister laid the foundation stone of a ₹15 crore co-educational college at Bikraur village. The area lies near the international border. The college will be built on 15 acres. It will serve students from over 50 villages. Local residents donated land willingly. Education will reach the border belt.
What Will Students Study Here?
The institution will offer Arts, Science and Commerce courses. Modern subjects are included. Computer Science will be taught. Artificial Intelligence and digital skills are planned. This ensures future-ready education. Girls will benefit the most. Long travel for studies will end. Dropouts are expected to reduce.
Can Education Stop Youth Migration?
CM Mann said education is the strongest tool against migration. When quality institutions exist locally, youth stay. Previous governments ignored this issue. His government has already given over 63,000 jobs on merit. Confidence among youth is returning. Reverse migration is possible. Hope is slowly rebuilding.
What About Border Area Challenges?
The Chief Minister called border residents true patriots. He assured full government support. Farmers faced fencing problems for years. The Centre approved shifting the border fence closer. Thousands of acres will be cultivable again. Education and farming will grow together. Border regions will witness development and stability.
