Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday announced an auction of the properties of Pearls Group to refund the money to the victims of the Ponzi scam, while declaring that the Aam Aadmi Party’s Government is going to acquire and auction Group’s properties in the coming days.

Lashing out at the opposition parties for patronising corruption and mafia, Mann also said that AAP Government has taken historic decisions in just three months which the previous governments failed to take in decades. “Corruption has now been stopped in government departments and the corrupt people to be lodged in jails,” he said while holding road shows in Malerkotla and Mehal Kalan assembly constituencies in support of party candidate Gurmail Singh.

Coming down heavily at the Shiromani Akali Dal, Mann said that all senior leaders of Akali Dal were rejected by the people in the assembly elections and now only their photos are missing from campaign posters in Sangrur while the SAD party will vanish from political map of Punjab in coming years.

Taking a dig at SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal, Mann said that Badal used to talk about ruling Punjab for 25 years but now Akali Dal has only three MLAs. Even now, they can come to the assembly on a scooter, he quipped.

Making a scathing attack at the Congress, Mann said that the party was trying to protect its corrupt former Minister Dharamsot and held protests in his support.

Attacking BJP candidate, he said that turncoat like Kewal Singh Dhillon can never serve the society as he is hungry for power. Taking another jibe at Simranjit Singh Mann, Mann said that he is trying to set a record of most defeats in elections.
