Punjab Accuses Center Of Neglect, Demands Fair Flood Relief As Bihar Gets Bigger Financial Package
Punjab is battling a flood crisis but claims it received just ₹1,600 crore from the Center, while Bihar got ₹7,500 crore, sparking anger, politics, and sharp questions nationwide.

Punjab News: Punjab is angry over the flood aid given by the central government. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said that while Bihar got ₹7,500 crore, Punjab received only ₹1,600 crore. He called it unfair treatment. Mann accused the opposition of playing politics during the disaster. He said the people of Punjab are feeling betrayed. His speech in the assembly became the talking point across the state.
Opposition Blamed For Political Games
Mann attacked opposition leaders saying they were busy with media headlines while people were drowning. He claimed they were not helping flood victims but trying to gain political points. According to him, such leaders have no sympathy for suffering families. He added that Punjab needed unity, not blame. The government accused them of weakening Punjab’s fight during crisis.
Punjab’s Contribution To The Nation
Mann reminded the nation of Punjab’s sacrifices. He said Punjab made India self-reliant in food and always defended the country’s borders. He also recalled Punjab’s role in freedom struggles. But when Punjab itself is in trouble, the Center remains silent. Mann said this is not the first time Punjab was ignored. He pointed to the Dinanagar terror attack when Punjab had to bear costs.
Call For Unity Among Punjabis
Mann gave a clarion call to the people of Punjab. He said it is time to stand together and rebuild the state. He even warned that he would protest outside the Prime Minister’s house if needed. He added he is not afraid of central agencies. His message was clear: Punjab’s voice cannot be silenced. He urged people to fight for dignity and survival.
Farmers Still Struggling After Floods
Farmers in Punjab are among the worst hit. Their crops are destroyed and their homes flooded. Many said they received only promises, not real help. Relief camps are running but not enough for all. They want compensation for losses. Families are struggling with food, water, and medicines. People are asking: will this disaster be forgotten like others?
Global Examples Of Punjab’s Spirit
Mann praised the courage of Punjabis. He compared their strength to historic battles like Saragarhi and Longewala. He said Punjabis never give up, no matter how big the crisis. He believes Punjab will rise again. But he warned that rebuilding needs support, not politics. His statement touched many emotional chords. People felt proud yet angry at the same time.
The Big Question On Relief Aid
The debate has now reached a crucial point. Was Punjab given less because of politics? Why is there such a huge difference between Bihar’s aid and Punjab’s? Is this step-motherly treatment? These are questions being asked in every village and city. Mann says history will remember those who stood with Punjab in this hour. The demand now is for justice and fair help.
