Corruption main challenge before country, Punjab: CM Bhagwant Mann
Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann expressed confidence that corruption will be weeded out from the state and his government will restore its glory
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday said that corruption was the biggest challenge before the country and Punjab but expressed confidence that it can be weeded out and his government will take every step to restore the glory of the state.
He was speaking on ‘Challenges before New Punjab’ as part of a lecture series organised to mark the golden jubilee of the Nagpur edition of newspaper Lokmat.
“Corruption is the biggest challenge in front of the country and Punjab. The AAP, after coming to power, started an anti-corruption helpline to curb the menace in government offices. It is turning into a success,” Mann said.
Mann said that his government will take every step to restore the glory of state.
“We will give employment, bring up sports and industrial growth, eradicate corruption, unemployment, drugs and pollution from the state to make it a frontrunner state in country,” said Mann.
He spoke on his government’s ‘One MLA One Pension’ scheme as well as efforts being taken to end the drug menace in the northern state by focusing on creating employment.
