Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar on Sunday tore into Bhagwant Mann regime’s mind-boggling profligacies which he said have pushed the state on the brink of Financial calamity with the addition of Rs. 50,000 Crore more debt in just a year and a half since AAP came to power in March 2022.
In just the last 4 months from April till the end of July this year, AAP has already taken over 11,718 Crores as loan, Jakhar said in a Facebook Live underscoring his fear that if unchecked the present government would have crushed Punjab with another burdensome 1.75 crores of debt in just 5 years of AAP misrule against total debt of 2.82 cr in last 56 years of state’s existence.
Reading out the report of the office of Principal Accountant General, the veteran leader, with an incisive grasp of issues concerning Punjab, underscored that out of this 11718 Crores merely 900 crores have been spent constructively, and the rest has gone up in smoke at the whims and fancies of incumbent dispensation.
Citing this Himalayan splurging, Jakhar also urged all Punjabis to ask questions of this regime which “thrives on fake propaganda, advertisements, and personal aggrandisement”.
“I thank Governor Sahib for setting the proverbial cat amongst the pigeon by asking Bhagwant Mann ji about the utilization details of about 50,000 crore which this present government has burdened Punjabis with”, Jakhar said.
Given the track record, I am not very hopeful of a genuine response by AAP leadership to very apt queries raised by Governor Punjab, Jakhar remarked adding thanks to the Governor’s missive, Punjabis of all hues have started asking – ‘where is the money, Mann Sahib’?
