CM Mann dares Sukhbir Singh Badal to cite Akali's achievements

Chandigarh, Aug 11 (UNI) Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann launched a scathing attack on Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Sukhbir Singh Badal today, daring him to cite a single achievement from the party’s decade-long rule in the state from 2007 to 2017.
Addressing a gathering in Sangrur, Mann described this period as the "darkest chapter" in Punjab’s history, accusing the Badal-led government of fostering a nexus of transport, cable, sand, drug, and other mafias that plagued the state.
Mann alleged that the Akali regime prioritized personal business interests over public welfare, allowing the drug menace to take root and spread across Punjab. He challenged Sukhbir to defend his party’s record, asserting that the current government is holding accountable those responsible for the state’s woes. "Leaders who committed grave offenses against Punjab are now facing justice, with key figures, including a notorious drug lord, behind bars in Nabha Jail," Mann stated, emphasizing his administration’s resolve to combat crime.
