CJP protest in Bengaluru targets SIR, announces slipper campaign next in Delhi

Bhagwant Mann: 'पिछली बार का रिकॉर्ड टूटेगा' in Punjab Assembly PollsSpeaking at the conclave, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann addressed key issues facing his administration, political challenges, and the state's upcoming electoral battle. Mann defended his government's governance track record, highlighting key welfare initiatives, including free electricity up to 600 units for domestic consumers, enhanced financial assistance schemes for women, and the setup of Schools of Eminence. Responding to allegations concerning central agency actions following a recent CBI raid at his camp office, Mann dismissed the moves as politically motivated tactics by rivals ahead of elections, asserting, "ये उनका election लड़ने का तरीका है." He vigorously countered allegations regarding Punjab's drug situation, calling it a widespread challenge being fought on the ground rather than solely a Punjab-specific issue. Mann expressed absolute confidence in AAP's electoral strength, predicting the party would surpass its 2022 tally of 92 seats.
