Said, AAP govt is making 'Badalda Punjab'
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, March 26-
The AAP govt, led by CM Bhagwant Mann presented its 4th Budget today named 'Badlda Punjab Budget 2025-26'. FM Harpal Singh Cheema termed it as a visionary blueprint aimed at transforming Punjab into a vibrant, prosperous, and equitable state.
Addressing the media after his Budget speech, Cheema launched a scathing attack on the previous govts for their failures and mismanagement, which plunged Punjab into financial and social turmoil. "The Akali Dal and Congress regimes systematically destroyed Punjab's economy and society with corruption, drugs, poor policies, and lack of vision. They left us a state riddled with drugs, unemployment, and crumbling infrastructure. In just three years, we have reversed this decline and set Punjab on a path of progress," said Cheema.
Cheema said that the previous Congress and BJP-Akali governments pushed Punjab into the grip of drugs, allowing this menace to flourish and devastating the youth of the state. In stark contrast, the AAP government has launched the ‘Yudh Nashe De Virudh’ campaign to eliminate drug abuse.
