00:02:27of the students'
00:02:30of that, the Soren government's
00:02:33troubles are increasing. Two rounds of talks

00:02:40पाया है, अभी भी बेनतीजा है, इसके
00:02:44are government employees

00:02:51प्रदर्शन कर रहे हैं, क्या कुछ हुआ है, लेकिन आइए, सबसे पहले आइए
00:02:55directly to the BJP headquarters. A press conference is being held there.
00:02:58है, राष्ट्रीय महामंत्री हैं, राज्यसभा के
00:03:02of the Rajya Sabha,
00:03:05और पंजाब से आते
00:03:07that to get the outstanding DA
00:03:09It has been more than four and a half years since the government was formed in Punjab.
00:03:12हुए,
00:03:16The promises made by them have not been fulfilled
00:03:18at all,
00:03:21but the situation in Punjab is getting worse day by day.
00:03:24है,
00:03:27The way there drugs are rampant.
00:03:35to get your picture printed in newspapers,
00:04:03Today
00:04:03Punjab
00:04:09of the Aam Aadmi Party's
00:04:10government
00:04:14has become the biggest example of misuse
00:04:17of the system.
00:04:21How protectors
00:04:24have become devourers
00:04:28of Punjab's economy, your
00:04:30peace,
00:04:34Punjab's assets
00:04:36are being eroded.
00:04:40हैं,
00:04:42Papers are being leaked, students are scared.
00:04:44Law and order is in disarray.
00:04:48Extortion,
00:04:51collection and torture
00:04:55centers,
00:04:58the whole of Punjab is in an atmosphere of fear.
00:05:00में
00:05:05If someone raises a voice
00:05:08then they are killed, beaten,
00:05:11and summarily
00:05:15casteist remarks are made.
00:05:16हैं,
00:05:20If sanitation workers protest peacefully
00:05:23on the streets,
00:05:24हैं
00:05:28they are treated badly. I am sharing
00:05:31some things with you,
00:05:34but whatever I am talking to you about,
00:05:38it
00:05:41includes the National Crime
00:06:07and Regional Scheduled Caste Commission's cognizance and the merit lists released by the Punjab government's board itself. I am presenting the record of that before you.
00:06:09And how
00:06:13the government formed to protect the people itself
00:06:17became a tool of the mafia, the protectors became
00:06:20predators, and the mafia is running the government
00:06:24in Punjab.
00:06:30Police protection is being used
00:06:34for the suppression of the public
00:06:35instead.
00:06:40In all the ongoing movements, whether it is the movement of sanitation
00:06:43workers,
00:06:47whether it is the recruitment scam movement, whether
00:06:50it is the farmers' movement, in every movement,
00:06:53the police,
00:06:57instead of listening to the protestors
00:07:00and understanding them,
00:07:02is trying to crush
00:07:05the movement and the protestors
00:07:08who are working peacefully.
00:07:11There is an undeclared censorship
00:07:16in Punjab.
00:07:20What a newspaper will write
00:07:24and what it will print,
00:07:26what a TV will show,
00:07:29and what it will not
00:07:31show,
00:07:34this is decided
00:07:38by Bhagwant Mann's office.
00:07:40Those who attacked
00:07:43their MP Swati
00:07:46Maliwal, sent from Delhi,
00:07:49and in such a situation when
00:07:53she was in the Chief Minister's residence,
00:07:54those who beat
00:07:58her, Vaibhav Kumar,
00:08:02are running a parallel censor board there.
00:08:06Such a censor board that stops
00:08:09newspapers and
00:08:13, under the pretext of checking, enforces conditions.
00:08:16है,
00:08:18In the newspaper, "Sheesh Mahal 2"
00:08:21should not be printed,
00:08:23for that, big newspapers,
00:08:27big news agencies are being intimidated.
00:08:29The situation is that inside cities,
00:08:32in villages, if a small
00:08:36YouTube channel is running, then the SHO of the area
00:08:39calls and issues instructions
00:08:42on what to run and what to show.
00:08:46And if
00:08:48newspapers do not
00:08:51listen to them, then bulldozers are run over them,
00:08:54GST raids are conducted, and
00:08:58many such cases of big newspapers
00:09:02are pending in courts
00:09:04today. I want to draw
00:09:07your attention
00:09:10to the fact that
00:09:14at this time, Punjab's resources are being looted.
00:09:17Punjab's assets are being looted.
00:09:21Be it the Ravi River or the Chak Dariya of Pathankot,
00:09:24be it the area of Anandpur Sahib and Hoshiarpur Ropar,
00:09:28open
00:09:30and clear, open
00:09:32and clear
00:09:37illegal mining is happening.
00:09:38है.
00:09:43Kejriwal Sahab went there,
00:09:47how will money come from mining
00:09:49to the state government? They brought a new mining policy.
00:09:53लेके आए,
00:09:56It was a promise-back policy that 20,000 crore rupees
00:09:59would come into Punjab's treasury every year, meaning 1 lakh crore would come in 5 years,
00:10:03and because of that, they would work
00:10:07for an education revolution and a health revolution in every part of Punjab.
00:10:10The situation
00:10:13is that forget 20,000 crore, not even 800
00:10:16to 900 crore rupees have reached Punjab's treasury.
00:10:20And this is the same Aam Aadmi Party that came
00:10:25before the elections that they would stop
00:10:28illegal mining
00:10:29in Punjab.
00:10:33And you must remember Bhagwant Mann's jokes before the elections
00:10:36that the money from illegal mining
00:10:39पैसा
00:10:41when Channi's government was in power in Punjab,
00:10:45the Congress government, Bhagwant Mann would give bungalow numbers
00:10:48where suitcases would arrive.
00:10:51Today, out of 20,000 crore rupees, 900 crore rupees have come into the treasury.
00:10:55Whose bungalow did the 19,200 crore rupees
00:10:59go to? This is what Punjab asks today,
00:11:02Bhagwant Mann Sahab.
00:11:05Today, every child in Punjab knows,
00:11:09the public of Punjab is discussing that on every truck
00:11:12involved in illegal mining,
00:11:14₹3500
00:11:17Mann tax is being collected.
00:11:21This means that instead of tax money coming into Punjab's treasury,
00:11:25Bhagwant Mann ji, the mafia he is controlling,
00:11:28that mafia is being given ₹3500
00:11:31per truck, and the situation is such
00:11:34that big newspapers
00:11:37in the country have already raised this issue, but the local administration
00:11:41is not even twitching, because the mafia
00:11:44itself is being controlled from the Aam Aadmi Party's
00:11:48office. The Punjab and Haryana High Court itself intervened,
00:11:51asked the Deputy Commissioner for a status report,
00:11:57and it is clearly visible
00:12:00there how through mining
00:12:04theft in Punjab,
00:12:07Punjab's treasury is empty,
00:12:10but through Mann tax,
00:12:13the Aam Aadmi Party's treasury is being filled.
00:12:17है
00:12:20The National Green Tribunal, after such
00:12:23extensive exploitation,
00:12:26banned mining on 85 sites,
00:12:29stopped desilting of the Ravi River in Gurdaspur,
00:12:33but the situation is that today if you go
00:12:36to any bank of Gurdaspur,
00:12:39I would request
00:12:43the newspapers here to go there
00:12:47independently and see, in the darkness of the night
00:12:50and in the light of day,
00:12:52में
00:13:14And in that area, due to this, accidents are continuously happening.
00:13:17रही
00:13:20Recently, when those involved in mining were raided,
00:13:23on the spot,
00:13:261 crore 75 lakh rupees,
00:13:30a single day's mining collection, was found
00:13:34from one place. 91 lakh rupees
00:13:37was in the account of the same person, the mafia.
00:13:41Whose money is this?
00:13:4485 sites were closed by the Green Tribunal.
00:13:47From one site, a single day's collection
00:13:51was 1 crore 75 lakh rupees in cash and 90 lakh
00:13:55rupees deposited in the bank. How much mining is happening, and that
00:13:59mining money, instead of going into the treasury,
00:14:03is reaching the Aam Aadmi Party through Mann tax.
00:14:06Day in and day out, JCB
00:14:09machines are running where mining is happening. On the other
00:14:12hand,
00:14:15in Punjab, there are continuous incidents of paper leaks,
00:14:18and Bhagwant Mann Sahab is saying that no paper has been leaked.
00:14:22The truth is that they
00:14:26and their police
00:14:28caught the paper leak mafia, arrested them.
00:14:32When they were arrested, it came to light
00:14:34how big this mafia
00:14:38is and how through this mafia,
00:14:41in Punjab,
00:14:43Bhagwant Mann's
00:14:47government is protecting big
00:14:51criminals. How the pen drive, how
00:14:55the camera, how the paper was leaked,
00:14:58the complete record of that was noted
00:15:02in the First Information Report, but
00:15:05efforts are being made to suppress the entire scandal.
00:15:08The people who were demanding the resignation
00:15:11of the Education Minister
00:15:13here in Delhi, here for a CBI
00:15:16inquiry,
00:15:19here criminals were caught,
00:15:23there...
00:15:25criminals are roaming, dons protecting the mafia
00:15:28are roaming, but the government is doing
00:15:32only one thing: how to hide this news. I want to draw
00:15:36your attention
00:15:39to the fact that what are the names of the students in the merit list that has come out?
00:15:42State Bank of India, the student's name is
00:15:46Smile, the student's name is Photo, the student's
00:15:50name is GIF.
00:15:53I am telling a roll number, 12
00:15:5551
00:15:57125154,
00:16:00the student's name is State Bank of India.
00:16:04This exam was also taken
00:16:07by them, and they also got 21.25 marks.
00:16:11State Bank of India ji gave the exam
00:16:14there, and they also got 40 marks
00:16:18in another exam. This is not a mistake.
00:16:21This is not a bona fide error, it is mala fide
00:16:25that this is happening, and in October 2025
00:16:29in Punjab,
00:16:32I will continuously tell its series,
00:16:35continuously there,
00:16:38when students from
00:16:41whom you might remember that in Punjab,
00:16:45there has been a scam of 800 crore rupees
00:16:48for post-matric scholarships for Scheduled Caste students.
00:16:51The court is continuously putting pressure
00:16:55on it, but the entire government is working
00:16:59to protect those who ate the money of SC children.
00:17:01लगी
00:17:03The entire government is trying in one way
00:17:08or another to stop justice. On the other
00:17:11hand, Punjab's employees are on the streets.
00:17:15Sanitation workers are being beaten.
00:17:18The incident
00:17:19in Barnala
00:17:23is exactly like General Dyer firing in Jallianwala Bagh.
00:17:27Similarly, in Barnala, Bhagwant Mann's
00:17:30police in Punjab
00:17:33are dragging women by their hair, by their clothes,
00:17:37and if you go on social media, I cannot use those words
00:17:40that those who were beaten said what words
00:17:44were used against them. Today, Punjab's
00:17:48employees are on the streets. Punjab
00:17:51Roadways, Punjab Bus, PRTC
00:17:55are staging dharnas. PSPCL,
00:17:58PSTCL, outsourced employees
00:18:01are on dharnas. Asha workers are on the streets.
00:18:05Anganwadi workers are on the streets. Mid
00:18:09day meal workers are on the streets. MNREGA employees
00:18:14for payment of their old dues. Employees of the water supply department
00:18:18and sewerage of the municipal corporation are staging dharnas.
00:18:21Sanitation workers are staging dharnas, and the situation
00:18:25is such that the entire administration, the entire
00:18:29administration is in agitation today,
00:18:32and the biggest thing is that crores
00:18:36of rupees of employees' DA
00:18:39are outstanding, and the situation is such
00:18:44and to get pension money,
00:18:48employees have been forced to visit court after court,
00:18:51and now the High Court and then the Supreme
00:18:55Court have clearly said that their money
00:18:58should be given to them.
00:19:02Clear directions have been given that the court is saying
00:19:06you have money for poster campaigns,
00:19:09you have money
00:19:13to paste on posters,
00:19:16but there is no money to give pension
00:19:20to a pensioner. Such a strict order indicates
00:19:24how anti-people the government's
00:19:26thinking is, and in Punjab,
00:19:29continuously atrocities on Dalits,
00:19:33Punjab is the region with the highest Dalit population in India.
00:19:40When the Gurus there, when throughout the world,
00:19:43there was discrimination based on black and white, caste,
00:19:47at such a time, our Gurus
00:19:50in Punjab talked about recognizing the human race as one.
00:19:54They talked about Sangat and Pangat against
00:19:57the caste system, that is why today in Punjab,
00:20:01the SC population is the highest, but the most atrocities
00:20:04are being committed against that SC population.
00:20:07On Republic Day, in Jalandhar, Ludhiana, and
00:20:11Patiala, at three places, hammers
00:20:14are used to strike the statues of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar ji.
00:20:18Near Phillaur, in Nangal village, the Ambedkar statue
00:20:21is broken. In September 2023,
00:20:25in Jalandhar, an FIR is registered
00:20:29against the son of the Aam Aadmi Party's local in-charge for kidnapping and brutally beating a Dalit youth.
00:20:32In February 2025,
00:20:36members of the Valmiki community and Dalit Panchayat are beaten on the streets
00:20:40by the national convener of the Aam Aadmi Party.
00:20:43The situations have become so dire
00:20:46that where the Constitution's portrait is made
00:20:50in Sri Amritsar, where the statue
00:20:54of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar ji is installed, it is being beaten
00:20:58with hammers in broad daylight.
00:21:01In Punjab,
00:21:05the law paper leak is not the first incident,
00:21:08this is the sixth incident in four years. In 2023,
00:21:12the English board exam paper of PSEB 12th
00:21:15was leaked, the exam had to be cancelled.
00:21:18In 2000 23,
00:21:21PSTET Paper Second had to be cancelled
00:21:24due to serious errors. Paper was leaked.
00:21:28In 2024, the Agriculture
00:21:31Development Officer (ADO) recruitment exam paper was leaked, allegations of malpractice were made,
00:21:35but the Aam Aadmi Party tried to suppress it.
00:21:38In 2025, PSSSB Group
00:21:42B recruitment papers were leaked, allegations of irregularities were made,
00:21:45the Vigilance Bureau is investigating
00:21:48it. 2026 is before all of you.
00:21:52I would like to talk to you about law and order.
00:21:54Today, the situation of law and order is such
00:21:57that as I said
00:22:01before, I will not say anything without facts. If
00:22:05I discuss the record of the National Crime Records Bureau's Crime in India
00:22:092024, though the situation in 24 to
00:22:1226 is even worse today, but the record
00:22:16of 24 says, which was released in the last four
00:22:20days, that 6060 cases
00:22:23for drug trafficking and possession of narcotics have been registered
00:22:27in Punjab, which is the highest
00:22:31registered in any one state of India.
00:22:33The situation is that
00:22:3789 young people died in 2023
00:22:40due to overdose of drugs, and in 2024,
00:22:441061 1000
00:22:48children and if we count for 25 and 26,
00:22:52this number has multiplied many times. Today, if you go
00:22:55to any village in Punjab, any street,
00:22:59the number of people dying from drug overdose,
00:23:03every fourth or sixth house will be like this,
00:23:06where young people have died from drug overdose while injecting themselves.
00:23:10Snatching incidents are the highest
00:23:13in all of India. This is what
00:23:16was noted in the police stations. 1356 incidents.
00:23:21In a single year, 1079 murders have occurred
00:23:24in 24, in 2024,
00:23:27and this figure will be higher in 25, higher in 26,
00:23:31and criminals are escaping from jail.
00:23:3448 criminals escaped in a single year,
00:23:38and if you analyze the law and order situation
00:23:42in Punjab, since the government was formed,
00:23:46every month, every other day, there is an incident.
00:23:50As soon as the government was formed, in May
00:23:542022, the Punjab Police Headquarters was attacked
00:23:58with a rocket launcher. In May 2023, three consecutive
00:24:01explosions occurred near Sri Harimandar Sahib. In July
00:24:052024, a mob of about 100 people attacked
00:24:09the Shringar Shringar police station in Ludhiana, vandalizing it.
00:24:12On December 2024,
00:24:15police stations are continuously being attacked, and there are 22
00:24:19police stations in Punjab
00:24:22where grenades have been thrown, grenades have been thrown at temples,
00:24:26grenades have been thrown at BJP Headquarters, and firing has taken place in Gurdwaras.
00:24:29And I will share the complete list with you,
00:24:33because in the press conference, day-wise, where
00:24:36crime is happening, how grenade attacks are happening,
00:24:40every day, a sarpanch
00:24:43is murdered, a nambardar is murdered.
00:24:47It seems that every day
00:24:50you will pick up a newspaper, and that
00:24:53newspaper is stained with the blood of Punjabis,
00:24:56and the government of Punjab
00:25:00is completely ineffective. The law and order
00:25:03situation in Punjab is such that Punjab's law and
00:25:07order is on a ventilator.
00:25:10है
00:25:12Punjab is in a terrible situation where
00:25:16grenade firing incidents,
00:25:20fear of extortion
00:25:22among people. Today, every city
00:25:25in Punjab is gripped by the fear
00:25:28of extortion and recovery. People receive calls
00:25:32from dons. In every small city,
00:25:35you will find a hundred or two traders, industrialists,
00:25:38doctors, lawyers, big farmers
00:25:42who are paying protection money.
00:25:45A parallel mafia is running the government.
00:25:48The mafia is collecting taxes. On one hand,
00:25:52there is Mann tax on mining, on the other hand, people
00:25:55are forced to pay life tax (extortion) to live.
00:25:59Punjab has reached such a situation. Murder of a chemist
00:26:03in Gurdaspur, murder of a Sangh official, murder of a Congress
00:26:06worker in Moga, continuously
00:26:09in weddings, in public
00:26:13events, and even while sitting in a police station
00:26:17outpost, police officers are also murdered,
00:26:21and every murder, every grenade attack, its video is also
00:26:24publicly released, and criminals are thumbing their noses at law
00:26:28and order. Punjab is going through such a situation,
00:26:31and the situation
00:26:34in Punjab is such that the Punjab
00:26:37Haryana High Court in July 2026
00:26:40has given the crisis
00:26:43in Punjab the status of the highest crisis,
00:26:47and the Home Ministry has also reviewed
00:26:50that currently in Punjab, 60
00:26:53thousand listen carefully,
00:26:5760,000 NDPS
00:27:00cases, meaning cases of selling drugs,
00:27:04buying drugs,
00:27:07running drug mafia are pending.
00:27:10And look at the indifference of the Punjab
00:27:13government. On one hand, a war against drugs is being waged,
00:27:17on the other hand, in Punjab, there is no
00:27:21special court to hear such cases.
00:27:24There is no provision to open any special
00:27:27court. There is no recommendation.
00:27:30नहीं है.
00:27:32Punjab is running by God's grace.
00:27:36Here, Punjab is running at Kejriwal's convenience.
00:27:40Today, in Punjab,
00:27:43for Kejriwal and Sisodia, Punjab's resources,
00:27:47the government will be seen standing on one leg to welcome
00:27:51them. Punjab government's plane and helicopter
00:27:54are flying around to take Kejriwal around,
00:28:01to repair Punjab's
00:28:04There is no money to fix the roads
00:28:09There is no money,
00:28:12but there is money for Kejriwal Sahab's arrival.
00:28:15I request all of you
00:28:19that there are many incidents,
00:28:23where bomb blasts happen
00:28:25in broad daylight, a sarpanch
00:28:29is murdered in broad daylight, at a wedding.
00:29:02This is news from January 14, this is from January 18.
00:29:06Every day, every day
00:29:10these news stories tell that in Punjab, these
00:29:13murders are happening in broad daylight.
00:29:17The newspaper that prints this, after that, that newspaper
00:29:21is stopped. Chemist
00:29:24short date
00:29:26in broad daylight.
00:29:30For a small matter, if you demand extortion,
00:29:33he is killed. The murder
00:29:36of a 26-year-old youth. These are those pictures,
00:29:39women shot dead.
00:29:42हत्या,
00:29:45Continuously these news stories tell that murders are happening
00:29:48in broad daylight at weddings, and
00:29:52the entire government, I have shown you
00:29:55how protectors have become
00:29:58predators and are looting Punjab's
00:30:01resources. I discussed the directions
00:30:05of the Green Tribunal and the High Court on this. I
00:30:08discussed drugs, how drugs are coming, how they are being sold, how
00:30:12young people are dying from drugs, but
00:30:15the Punjab government is putting on a false show
00:30:19in the name of war against drugs, only hogging headlines. As I said
00:30:22before, today also on behalf of the Bharatiya Janata Party, I will ask the Chief Minister
00:30:26to come, let us first
00:30:30get the leaders tested.
00:30:32If leaders themselves are involved
00:30:34in drugs,
00:30:36then the dope test should be done on the leaders,
00:30:40only then can they tell the world to quit drugs, so Chief Minister ji
00:30:43should start the doctor's test.
