Bathinda: Accusing the Punjab Government of deceiving the public with false promises, BJP candidate from Bathinda Lok Sabha constituency, Parampal Kaur Sidhu Maluka on Thursday said that rather to push the development, the Bhagwant Mann Government in Punjab has burdened the state with debt.

First ask AAP to give Rs 24k due to each woman, and then seek votes: Harsimrat to women voters

Bathinda: Former Union Minister and Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Thursday appealed to the women voters to ask AAP to first give Rs 24,000 due to each woman as per Rs 1,000 per month promised made to them by AAP and then seek their votes. Bathinda MP, who toured several villages in Bathinda rural constituency, said: “Thousands of women opened bank accounts in the hope that they will start receiving Rs 1,000 per month. It has been more than two years now since the AAP Government came into power but Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has forgotten about this promise. It is high time you remind the ‘jhadoo wali party’ about this promise and demand Rs 24,000 due to each of you is deposited in your accounts before they come seeking your votes.”
