Ludhiana, August 4, 2025: BJP Punjab President Sunil Jakhar today launched a scathing attack on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann while addressing the media in Ludhiana. He described the AAP government's attitude as arrogant, stating that the central government would now take appropriate action.
Jakhar was in Ludhiana to join a protest in support of three BJP councillors, against whom the Municipal Corporation's mayor had filed a case.
Jakhar said the case was filed simply because the councillors had gone to meet the mayor to discuss development work. He called it an injustice to the councillors and an example of the government’s arrogance and corruption.
Jakhar vowed that the BJP would fight for its self-respect with full force and that this issue would resonate across Punjab. He criticized the mayor, accusing him of forgetting about development and engaging only in political bias.
Sunil Jakhar also raised questions about the use of ₹1800 crore provided by the Centre for the Ludhiana Smart City Project. He announced that he would write a letter to the central government to request an audit of the funds to show the public how and where the money was spent.
Taking a shot at CM Bhagwant Mann, Jakhar said that Mann is busy telling jokes while the people of Punjab are suffering from drug abuse and corruption.
He also urged the Chief Minister to become the voice of the people, warning that otherwise, the public is ready to send him back home.
Jakhar also criticized the government on the issue of land pooling, stating that this decision would eventually turn the people against the government.
