Haryana Chief Minister Takes Aim At Bhagwant Mann Ahead Of 2027 Punjab Polls

With the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections approaching, the BJP has intensified its attack on the Bhagwant Mann-led Aam Aadmi Party government, with Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini using a public rally in Jalandhar to launch a direct comparison between the governance records of the two neighbouring states.Taking a sharp dig at Mann, Saini branded the Punjab government a "Chutkulon Ki Sarkar", saying jokes might entertain people in cinema halls but could not run a government. His attack was aimed at questioning the AAP government's performance on employment, drugs, law and order, healthcare and women's welfare while projecting Haryana's BJP government as a governance model for Punjab.Employment emerged as one of the key points of Saini's attack.

He questioned AAP's pre-election promise of providing jobs to 25 lakh youth, contrasting it with Mann's claim of providing around 60,000 government jobs during his tenure. He alleged that deserving candidates had suffered because of corruption and recruitment controversies.
