Bhagwant Mann, Chairman of the New Minister of Punjab, has hit the land. Within 24 hours, he stated the decision “unprecedented” to launch an anti-corruption Helpline on March 23, birthday of the death of Bhagat Singh. And for hours after the ministers vowed, the cabinet cleared the proposal to provide 25,000 government work.
The first decision was easily launched. Since 2017, the Punjab Vigilance Bureau has a toll-free number (1800-1800-1000) for people to complain about government officials who demand bribes. I called the number on Sunday – the response was fast. The alertness bureau then released the WhatsApp number and email address as well, urging people to send videos or text to complain about corruption.
Mann has several other promises to redeem the boss, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Convenor and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal. Kejriwal saw the emergence of investigation or revolution in AAP’s victory in Punjab. It must spread throughout India now, he said. Eleven-Punjab Cabinet, led by Mann, may not have administrative experience, but not in the revolutionary spirit, so to say. One minister, Lal Chand Kataruchak, for example, was a member of the Indian Revolutionary Marxist Party. Another minister, Kuldip Singh Dhaliwal, is a former friend who was once a member of the Indian Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist); But another pastor, Harjot Singh Bains, has cut his teeth into politics with Anna Hazare’s anti-corruption movement, “Bloodless Revolution”, as explained by the Tamil Rajinikanth actor.
They should not bring an inquiry about the type of Amitabh Bachchan which was brought in the 1984 film with the same name. In the life of the reel, Bachchan’s character, a police officer, was forced to join the gloomy political world, and led the Garibon KI party for victory. But before being cm, he came to the party office to meet with his cabinet colleagues and shot them all, pull out Jurm Ka Ped or a crime tree. It was the way Harchchan to ask in the life of the reel. In fact, much lower dramatically and far more down to earth.
Punjab or Durbar: Mann’s tough choice
For Bhagwant Mann, Inquilab’s face in Punjab, there are abundant challenges. A friend of Punjab told me on Saturday night, “We chose the note (nothing above) this time … because it was no choice and Congressis a mess. Bhagwant Mann is CM from the note. He must prove a lot to convince us about AAP. “
And what should Mann do to prove himself in the eyes of the Punjab people?
“First of all, he should not behave like Durbar’s slave. He will never win the trust and respect of Punjabis if he is seen as someone at the mercy of his political master in Delhi,” said the friend to me.
