Bhagwant Mann Hits Back at Congress, Accuses Party of Moral Hypocrisy

Addressing the remarks directed at his administration, the Chief Minister alleged that the Congress had previously reduced constitutional positions to bargaining tools. He argued that a party which, in his words, “puts a price on the office of Chief Minister” cannot claim to represent public interest or effectively address people’s concerns.

Mann further asserted that political opponents with a history of corruption have no standing to lecture his government on honesty or ethics. He described such criticism as politically motivated and disconnected from the real issues facing citizens, maintaining that his administration remains committed to clean governance and accountability.

The exchange reflects the deepening political friction in Punjab, where rival parties continue to trade accusations over governance, integrity, and public trust. Mann’s remarks signal an aggressive stance by the state government as it seeks to defend its record while questioning the credibility of the opposition.

As political temperatures rise, the confrontation underscores the broader battle over transparency and ethical leadership in Punjab’s political landscape, an issue likely to remain central as parties vie for public confidence in the state.
