Majitha, July 23 (Subhash Chandra Bhagat): Senior Shiromani Akali Dal leader and former Punjab Cabinet Minister Bikram Singh Majithia claimed that the people of Punjab are eager to remove the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government from power. He made these remarks while addressing a large gathering of party workers at Talwandi Khuman village in the Majitha constituency. The meeting, organized by Shiromani Akali Dal Sarpanch Raghbir Singh Sandhu, turned into a massive rally.
Majithia alleged that the AAP government was misleading the people of Punjab and accused it of adopting double standards. He said the party criticizes the alleged baton charge on students in Delhi while remaining silent over what he described as action taken against farmers, employees, and common citizens in Punjab.
Referring to alleged irregularities in recruitment, Majithia said that if the NEET examination issue at the national level is being investigated, then recruitment processes conducted in Punjab over the past four years should also be examined. He claimed that alleged irregularities and cancelled recruitment drives had affected the future of many young people.
Criticizing the state’s education system, he said the government frequently speaks about an “education revolution,” but claimed that various surveys indicate Punjab has fallen behind on several educational parameters.
Majithia also criticized the use of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s photographs on school bags, prasad packets, and government welfare materials. He said public welfare schemes should serve the people rather than being used for personal or political publicity.
During his address, Majithia appreciated the Gram Panchayat and local leaders of Talwandi Khuman for continuing development work despite being in the opposition. He alleged that local leaders had faced pressure and threats but continued to serve the public.
He concluded by urging Shiromani Akali Dal workers to continue raising public issues and actively take the party’s policies to villages across Punjab.
Several party leaders, former sarpanches, local office-bearers, and villagers were present at the event.
