How will the state of Punjab get some package when the Chief Minister of Punjab S. Bhagwant Mann and his entire cabinet keeps sitting in Chandigarh and doesn't meet any Union Minister in Delhi.

Raising sharp questions on the absence of Chief minister of Punjab from the meeting of Niti Aayog in Delhi, S. Ravneet Singh Bittu, Minister of state for Railways and Food Processing industries said that this has happened for the second time in row. The Chief Minister should have attended the meeting of Niti Aayog which was chaired by the Prime Minister of India and Should have raised his concerns in the meeting. The allegations of the state Govt that the union Govt is releasing their share of grants in different schemes are totally false and politically motivated.

The Punjab Govt has misused the funds meant for specific schemes and even in some cases diverted them, now they are not giving the utilization certificates of the funds how will the centre release the next installment.

Ravneet Singh Bittu was addressing the media in the BJP in Sangrur today. He also said that the claims of the Chief Minister about making the Malwa Nahar are false and they just looking at the Gidderbaha Bye election. The state which don't have single penny to give even salaries to their employees how will they make nahar of 2000 Crores, all Lies.
