Modi said, “Rampant corruption and dampened industrial prospects have destroyed the state of Punjab.” He added, “Today, resource mafia, drugs mafia, and shooter gangs rule the roost in Punjab.” He criticized the state government, saying, “The state government of Punjab is debt-ridden, and its CM is only CM on paper.” PM Modi added, “Corrupt Congress and AAP are two sides of the same coin,” aiming to plunder Punjab and deprive it of any development.
He said, “It was the I.N.D.I alliance’s divisive politics that caused the partition of India and kept us away from the Kartarpur Sahib for 70 years.” He praised the BJP government for commemorating ‘Veer Bal Diwas,’ bringing all Sikh brothers and sisters from Afghanistan to safety, and retrieving the ‘Holy Guru Granth Sahib.’
