Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann dismissed the BJP's claims based on an Enforcement Directorate letter, saying the allegations have no factual basis.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann responded to a recent statement by the Bharatiya Janata Party that cited an Enforcement Directorate (ED) letter alleging wrongdoing. Mann categorically denied the claims, stating that there is no truth to the allegations and that the BJP has offered no concrete evidence.
In his reply, the CM emphasized that the ED has not presented any official notice or detailed findings to substantiate the accusations. He urged the opposition to focus on governance rather than resorting to unverified allegations.
The BJP, however, has not released the full contents of the alleged ED letter, and the matter remains under political scrutiny. No legal action has been reported as of now.
Mann’s rebuttal was delivered during a press interaction in Punjab, where he reiterated his government's commitment to transparency and accountability.
The episode adds to the ongoing political tussle between the ruling Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab and the national opposition, with both sides awaiting further developments.
