The Budget Session of the Punjab Assembly began on Friday. Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit delivered an address saying, “my government completed one year”. This was objected by the Opposition leader Partap Bajwa who said, “You should not say “my government” as they have not replied to your questions,” referring to the ongoing tussle between the Guv and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

Highlighting the government’s achievement, he said. “ 504 Aam Aadmi Clinics had been made operational in urban and rural areas.”
He said, “My government has launched the flagship programme ‘Schools of Excellence’. As many as 117 government senior secondary schools have been selected for transformation into ‘Schools of Excellence’.”

Continuing his speech, the governor said, “True to its commitment, my government has granted 300 units of free electricity per month. For the first time, over 90 per cent domestic consumers received a zero bill.”
He said, “My government is deeply concerned about the depleting groundwater. For its better management and conservation, an incentive of Rs 1,500 per acre is being given to the farmers for direct sowing of rice.”
Soon after the governor commenced his address, leader of opposition and Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa said, “They (the AAP MLAs) have not accepted you as one of them and have not responded to issues raised by you.”
Purohit replied, “There should be no controversy as this is a very important session.”
When CM Bhagwant Mann argued that he should use the term “my government,” many Congress leaders staged a walk out.
