Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann accuses BJP-led Centre of neglecting Punjab in Bathinda address

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann addressed a gathering in Bathinda, where he criticised the central government for what he described as a lack of focus on the state's issues. Mann asserted that the BJP‑led Union government has consistently overlooked Punjab's developmental needs and concerns.
He highlighted several pending matters, including water allocation, agricultural distress and infrastructure projects, stating that these have not received the attention they merit from Delhi.
The remarks come amid ongoing tensions between the state and centre over policy implementation. No immediate response from the Union government was recorded at the time of reporting.
