AAP Govt In Punjab Playing Pranks With PM’s Free Ration Scheme: Chugh

Chandigarh, March 29: BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Tuesday said while distributing free ration to people the AAP government in Punjab should also tell the people that it was the provision made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The BJP leader said under the PM’s scheme in Punjab, 1.42 crore people have been given free ration and now the AAP government is making drum-beating on it to mislead people and to claim false credit on the central scheme. He said it was time AAP government started delivering on the ground instead of making misleading claims and credits.

Chugh also accused Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann of distorting and misinterpreting a routine administrative decision of the central government providing central benefits to the employees working with the Union Territory administration. He said, this was a long-pending demand of the employees, many of whom are drawn from Punjab, that they should get all services benefits at a par with the central government employees. “Now that the central government has agreed to their demand, the Bhagwant Mann government was again making a misleading observation about it.”
