Delhi: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is in trouble over the number of escort vehicles. It is estimated that there are more vehicles in Bhagwant Mann's escort than that of the former Chief Ministers of Punjab. Pointing this out, Congress came forward with criticism. The criticism of the Congress is that Bhagwant Man is now on the path of VIP culture, which the Aam Aadmi Party opposed before the elections.
Showing the RTI documents, the Congress says that there are 42 vehicles in Bhagwant Mann's convoy. Former Chief Ministers Prakash Singh Badal, Amarinder Singh, and Charanjit Singh Channi did not use so many vehicles for escort. shocking revelation: During 2007–17, when Prakash Singh Badal was Chief Minister, Akambadi had 33 vehicles. Even when Captain Amarinder Singh became the Chief Minister, there was no change in that regard. In the case of Chhanni, it did not go beyond 39. But the Aam Aadmi Chief Minister now has 42 cars to accompany him. Congress leader Pratap Singh Bajwa tweeted.
There are inconsistencies between what Bhagwant Mann said during the election and what he did after becoming the Chief Minister. Earlier, when he was an MP, he used to criticise the ruling party (Congress) for such things. Why take money from taxpayers and show such luxury? How much money is being spent on such a large fleet? Pratap Singh Bajwa said that Bhagwant Man should explain to the people of Punjab why he is escorted by so many vehicles. Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party has not yet responded in this regard.
The allegation that the Punjab Chief Minister was thrown off the plane after he got drunk is just starting to wear off. That's when Congress came to the scene by raising a new controversy.
