Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a public rally in Gurdaspur, Punjab, expressed his concerns over the current state of governance in Punjab. He criticized the state government, alleging that it was being controlled remotely by the “Durbaris of Delhi”.
“Punjab is unfortunately being governed via remote control. The Durbaris of Delhi are governing Punjab,” PM Modi stated, expressing his disapproval of the current state of affairs. He further claimed that the Chief Minister of Punjab lacked the autonomy to make independent decisions.
“The CM of Punjab cannot make a single decision on his own,” he said, suggesting that the state’s governance was under the influence of external entities. He also alleged that the Chief Minister had to visit Tihar Jail to receive directives for running his government.
“The CM had to go to Tihar Jail to take new orders to run his government,” he declared, casting doubts on the credibility of the state’s leadership.
PM Modi also hinted at a major anti-corruption drive starting from June 1st, indicating that those involved in corrupt practices would face legal consequences. He questioned the viability of the Punjab government under such circumstances.
“After 1st June, the corrupt will go to jail again. Will the Punjab government function from the jail again?” he questioned, raising concerns about the future of governance in Punjab.
The rally concluded with PM Modi’s call for a more autonomous and robust Punjab, free from external influences. His remarks have sparked a political debate, with responses coming in from various political factions.
