Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a recent public rally in Gurdaspur, Punjab, voiced his concerns over the governance of Punjab. He criticized the state government, alleging that it was being remotely controlled by the “Durbaris of Delhi”.
“Punjab is unfortunately being governed via remote control. The Durbaris of Delhi are governing Punjab,” PM Modi remarked, expressing his dissatisfaction with the current state of governance. He further suggested that the Chief Minister of Punjab was not able to make decisions independently.
“The CM of Punjab cannot make a single decision on his own,” he stated, implying that the state’s governance was under the influence of external forces. He also claimed that the Chief Minister had to visit Tihar Jail to receive instructions for running his government.
“The CM had to go to Tihar Jail to take new orders to run his government,” he asserted, casting aspersions on the integrity of the state’s leadership.
PM Modi also hinted at a major crackdown on corruption from June 1st, suggesting that those involved in corrupt practices would be incarcerated. He questioned the functionality of the Punjab government under such circumstances.
“After 1st June, the corrupt will go to jail again. Will the Punjab government function from the jail again?” he queried, raising concerns about the future of governance in Punjab.
The rally concluded with PM Modi’s call for a more self-reliant and robust Punjab, free from external influences. His comments have ignited a political debate, with responses coming in from various political factions.
