The Governor has raised questions on law and order. Ever since our government came, a lot of work has been done. In the month of August alone, 41 kg of heroin was seized…Till now 753 gangsters have been arrested and 786 weapons and vehicles have been seized. Law and order are under complete control,” he said.Mann asked if Banwarilal Purohit had written a letter over the states demands concerning the release of the Rural Development Fund from the Centre.“The Governor wrote 16 letters to me, out of which nine letters have been answered. Soon the rest of the letters will also be answered. What is the hurry Did the Governor ever write any letter about the RDF (Rural Development Fund) of Punjab Did he ever ask anything on the issue of farmers Governor Sahab, have you ever stood with Punjab” Mann said.ਅਹਿਮ ਮਸਲੇ ਤੇ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਭਵਨ ਚੰਡੀਗੜ੍ਹ ਤੋਂ ਪ੍ਰੈੱਸ ਕਾਨਫਰੰਸ Live… https://t.co/18FNJBRkxF— Bhagwant Mann (@BhagwantMann) August 26, 2023“The hunger for power is visible in all the letters. The Governor comes from Nagpur but he also belongs to Rajasthan. Elections are coming there, contest elections from there and become the Chief Minister,” Mann added.It is to be noted here that the governor sent a strongly-worded letter and warned, stating that if the letters are not responded on time, he could recommend the Presidents rule in the state and will also initiate criminal proceedings, if required.
