Punjab news

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday held massive protests across Punjab against the Chitta Party (Shiromani Akali Dal), its president Sukhbir Singh Badal, the ED Party (BJP) and the Congress over a coordinated campaign to defame CM Bhagwant Singh Mann through a misleading fake video circulated on social media. AAP ministers, MLAs, senior leaders, karyakartas and local residents took to the streets across the state, accusing opposition parties of misusing religion, spreading false propaganda and hatching political conspiracies to mislead the people of Punjab and derail the state’s progress.

From Faridkot, Barnala and Mansa to Kapurthala, Moga and Badal village, protesters raised strong slogans against what they described as anti-Punjab and Panth-opposing forces that have repeatedly sought to exploit religious sentiments and sow divisions for political gains. They asserted that while the opposition continues to pursue politics of hatred, misinformation and vested interests, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann has won the trust of Punjabis through transparent governance, employment generation, quality education, welfare initiatives and development-oriented politics.

The protesters said the people of Punjab have repeatedly rejected such divisive politics and will never allow any conspiracy aimed at tarnishing the Chief Minister’s image or disturbing the state’s peace, harmony and progress to succeed.

Addressing a protest gathering in Mohali, senior AAP leader and Cabinet Minister Harpal Singh Cheema said that the Aam Aadmi Party has organized symbolic protests across Punjab against the anti-Panth and anti-Punjab activities of the Shiromani Akali Dal and its repeated attempts to disturb the peace and harmony of the state. “Today, Aam Aadmi Party karyakartas have come out on the streets not only in Mohali but across Punjab to register their protest against such forces. The people of Punjab are fully aware of these conspiracies and will never allow those who have repeatedly harmed the interests of the state to succeed,” he said.

Highlighting the achievements of the Bhagwant Mann Government, Harpal Singh Cheema said that Punjab is witnessing unprecedented development under the leadership of CM Bhagwant Singh Mann. “Our government has provided nearly 44,000 government jobs to the youth of Punjab in a transparent manner. Sports grounds are being developed in villages across the state to channel the energy of young people in a positive direction. Construction and repair work of around 45,000 kilometres of roads is underway. Children studying in government schools are receiving quality, world-class education, while every household is benefiting from 300 units of free electricity every month,” he said.

Harpal Singh Cheema said these historic development initiatives have left opposition parties unnerved. “Unable to digest the rapid progress taking place in Punjab, the Shiromani Akali Dal has now resorted to cheap politics. It has made a vile attempt to create and circulate a fabricated and fake video on social media to tarnish the clean image of our Chief Minister. This reflects the frustration of those political forces that have lost public support and are desperately trying to regain relevance through misinformation,” he said.

The senior AAP leader said the statewide protests were organized to expose this conspiracy before the people of Punjab and send a strong message that politics based on falsehood and deception will not be tolerated. “AAP karyakartas across Punjab are united in opposing this malicious campaign. We will not allow any conspiracy aimed at disturbing Punjab’s peace, progress and social harmony to succeed. The people of Punjab stand firmly with CM Bhagwant Singh Mann and the development-oriented politics of the Aam Aadmi Party,” he added.

AAP leaders participating in the protests reiterated that the Shiromani Akali Dal has resorted to such tactics because it has lost its political credibility among the people. They said the people of Punjab are fully capable of distinguishing between truth and misinformation and will reject all attempts to mislead them through fabricated content and propaganda.

The Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has pointed out that Pashu Melas, which are being held all across the state of Punjab, have been successful in fetching an unprecedented amount of revenue of ₹123.76 crore in the present year. It is a remarkable figure as compared to last year, when the income of Pashu Melas was ₹92 crore, which shows an increase of about 34%. This tremendous rise in income highlights the increasing significance of livestock trade and animal husbandry in Punjab’s rural economy.

Highest Earnings through Animal Fairs

According to the Punjab government, animal fairs across the state generated ₹123.76 crore in revenue this year, compared to ₹92 crore last year. This reported 34% increase highlights the growing popularity of these fairs among farmers, livestock breeders, and traders. 

Economic Benefits for Rural Communities

Animal fairs play an important role in supporting rural communities by creating additional income opportunities for farmers. Besides traditional farming, livestock trading allows people to earn money through the sale and purchase of cattle, goats, horses, and other animals. These events also benefit local businesses, transport services, and vendors, contributing to overall rural economic growth.

Strengthening Animal Husbandry

The growth in revenue highlights the increasing importance of animal husbandry in Punjab. Livestock farming continues to provide financial support to thousands of families while contributing to the state’s agricultural economy.

Opportunities for Farmers

The fairs offer farmers a platform to showcase quality livestock, explore better market opportunities, and learn about modern breeding and animal care practices. This helps improve productivity and profitability in the sector.

Anurag Dhanda: The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is one of the important tests among aspiring medical students in India. Every year, lakhs of candidates prepare for months or even years to get admission into a good medical college. 

Nagpur Students Allocated Abu Dhabi Test Center

As per the news being circulated through social media channels and politics, a NEET aspirant from Nagpur has been allocated an exam center in Abu Dhabi, UAE. There has been a lot of buzz around the test center allocation, and people are trying to find out how a student staying in India can get his/her exam center outside the country. 

Questions Raised by Anurag Dhanda

Anurag Dhanda, who is part of the AAP, was quick to raise some questions to the National Testing Agency (NTA) in relation to how the center allocation had happened. This has been due to the problems that students go through when taking such examinations and the need for more transparency in the system.

Student Welfare Concerns

This incident has once again highlighted the issue of student welfare. Examinations are always under tremendous stress, and even small matters such as registration, admit cards, or examination centers can cause major stress to the students. The authorities conducting examinations need to have a well-defined mechanism that helps in addressing any such issues before the day of the examination. Center allocation in preferred location is one of the most important aspects of an exam.

Demand for Transparency

In the wake of this controversy, many people have raised a demand for detailed clarification from the authorities concerned. Transparency in center allocation, swift grievance redressal, and good communication with the candidates are a few of the main demands being raised now.

As lakhs of medical aspirants across India prepare to sit for the rescheduled NEET UG 2026 examination, the Punjab government has taken a decisive step to ease their journey — literally. The Punjab Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, approved free bus travel for NEET aspirants and one attendant travelling to examination centres in Punjab and Chandigarh.

What the Free Travel Scheme Covers

Punjab Roadways, PUNBUS, and PRTC buses will provide free travel to and from examination centres in Punjab and Chandigarh on June 20, 21, and 22. Students will only have to show their admit cards to avail the facility, and no fare will be charged from them.

The financial liability of the free travel facility will be borne by the Transport Department and reimbursed by the Finance Department.

Why It Matters: A Cancelled Exam Adds Financial Stress

The NEET examination originally scheduled for May 3, 2026, was cancelled and has now been rescheduled for June 21, 2026. Amid concerns over NEET 2026 paper leaks and cancellations impacting over 22 lakh students, the Punjab government is providing free travel on all Punjab Roadways buses for candidates to alleviate financial stress and ensure exam access.

Kejriwal’s Appeal, Mann’s Action

The move was sparked by distress signals from students at the ground level. The decision was taken after several aspirants informed Arvind Kejriwal that poor families were struggling to arrange travel expenses to examination centres, prompting the Punjab government to step in and provide relief to students across the state.

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal decided that NEET candidates can use state-run buses without paying any fare on June 20, 21 and 22.

“Your Dream, Our Responsibility”

Punjab authorities released an official poster carrying the slogan “Right To Education For Every Child’’, underscoring the message that no candidate should miss the exam because families cannot afford transport.

CM Yogi Adityanath: In a significant development milestone for Bundelkhand, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday held a mega public programme in Lalitpur, where he laid the foundation stones for 221 development projects cumulatively worth ₹1766 crore. The event was described as a mega show by the Chief Minister in Lalitpur, with foundation stones laid for 221 projects. The programme is part of the BJP’s accelerating Jan Kalyan (public welfare) outreach blitz being carried out across all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh ahead of the 2027 state Assembly elections.

A District Long Left Behind, Now Centre Stage

Lalitpur, one of the historically underdeveloped districts of the Bundelkhand region, has often lagged behind in terms of infrastructure, water resources, and connectivity. Saturday’s programme signals a decisive shift, with the state channelling massive resources into transforming the district’s development landscape. The projects are expected to span sectors including roads and connectivity, irrigation, drinking water supply, health infrastructure, and public welfare schemes.

Double Engine Government’s Development Model

CM Yogi Adityanath has consistently emphasised that the double engine government — with the BJP at both the state and Centre — has significantly strengthened basic infrastructure and welfare delivery across Uttar Pradesh, ensuring access to electricity, roads, and clean drinking water for citizens. The Lalitpur programme is the latest in a rapid series of such district-level investment events. In recent weeks alone, Yogi has led similar programmes across Unnao (₹570 crore, 101 projects), Balrampur (₹294 crore, 75 projects), and Gonda (₹516 crore, 262 projects), reflecting a statewide pattern of accelerated delivery.

Beneficiaries Receive Direct Welfare Support

CM Yogi Adityanath: Consistent with the format of such programmes across UP, beneficiaries of various state and central government welfare schemes — including housing, employment, and health — were also expected to receive certificates, cheques, and appointment letters during the Lalitpur event, ensuring the day delivered direct impact beyond just infrastructure announcements.

Bhagwant Mann: In a major breakthrough, the Jalandhar Commissionerate Police apprehended four members of a gang linked to foreign-based handlers involved in extortion and firing incidents, recovering three sophisticated pistols and live cartridges from their possession.

Acting on a tip-off received on Friday that some criminals were planning to execute a major crime in the city, a police team laid a trap and successfully apprehended the four gang members along with weapons.

Foreign Handlers Running the Show From Abroad

Preliminary investigation and interrogation revealed that the accused were operating under the guidance of their foreign-based handlers, who used internet calls and social media applications to assign targets, provide instructions, and arrange funding for the gang.

DGP Gaurav Yadav confirmed that the accused were acting on the directions of foreign-based handlers and were involved in planning and executing multiple firing incidents in Jalandhar and Nawanshahr districts.

The BNS Fashions Attack: The Trigger Behind the Crackdown

The arrests are directly linked to a brazen daylight attack that had sent shockwaves through Jalandhar’s business community. Last week, the gang had fired at the BNS Fashions showroom at Santokhpura and had been demanding ₹50 lakh from its owner, Lakshay Verma. An FIR has been registered at the Bhargo Camp police station in Jalandhar.

A Pattern of Terror Against Traders

Bhagwant Mann: According to police officials, the arrested accused were involved in planning and executing several firing incidents in Jalandhar and Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar, with the main objective of creating fear among traders and influential individuals to extort money. The gang had also conducted reconnaissance of multiple locations in recent days to execute further violent crimes.
