Jagraon, October 29, 2026: Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Thursday asserted that his government is creating employment opportunities within Punjab, enabling young people to build their future at home rather than being forced to migrate abroad, while citing 70,000 government jobs, the transformation of government schools that helped 882 students clear NEET (National Eligibility Entrance Test) this year, and crores of rupees being invested in village development as evidence of Punjab’s changing fortunes.
During a ‘Lok Milni’ programme at Kamalpura village in Ludhiana’s Jagraon constituency, the Chief Minister handed over a cheque of ₹51 lakh to the village Sarpanch for comprehensive development works, reiterated his government’s commitment to farmers and women, and hit out at Congress and Akali leaders for fighting over power instead of working for Punjab’s progress. He also referred to the filing of a chargesheet against Akali Dal (Badal) leader Bikram Singh Majithia, asserting that it would become difficult for him to escape accountability.
Taking to X, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated: “Today, during the ‘Lok Milni’ programme at Kamalpura village in the Jagraon Assembly constituency of Ludhiana, I interacted with a large gathering of people and handed over a cheque of ₹51 lakh to the Sarpanch for the comprehensive development of the village. Coming from an ordinary farming family myself, I understand the challenges faced by farmers. That is why we have started providing electricity to agricultural tubewells during the day instead of at night, to save farmers from unnecessary hardship. Mothers and sisters should also keep their bank accounts and ATMs ready, as the Sanman Rashi will soon be credited to their accounts. While the opposition is busy fighting among itself for positions and power, our only goal is the progress and prosperity of Punjab.”
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann reiterated that his government’s focus remained on public welfare, employment, education, healthcare, agriculture and rural development. He said the people of Punjab would continue to support work that improved their lives and strengthened the state’s future.
