Chandigarh, March 5:
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Wednesday said that the leaders from opposition parties are desperate to occupy CM residence for which they are indulging in various tantrums.
Addressing the gathering after handing appointment letters to youth, the Chief Minister quipped that the opposition leaders are hungry to occupy the official residence of the CM for which they are indulging in various theatricals. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that this house belongs to 3.5 crore people of the Punjab and only the person elected by them has a privilege of serving them and living in this house. He said that as a matter of fact people do not elect such power hungry leaders with dubious character, who have never bothered about the people.
Citing an example, the Chief Minister said that Union Minister of state Ravneet Singh Bittu thinks that he has ancestral right on this property of people as his grandfather had once remained CM. He said that these rejected leaders will never be accepted by people and their dream to occupy the official residence of the Chief Minister with all these tantrums will be of no use. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that this is the house of the masses, who elect and send the leaders here, but people will never elect these politicians who have no concern for people.
The Chief Minister reiterated that the traditional parties are envious of him because he hails from a common family adding that these leaders who had always believed that they have divine right to rule the state are not able to digest that a common man is running the state efficiently. He said that these leaders have befooled the people since independence by depriving them of even the basic necessities due to which people had ousted them. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that it is a fact that these convent educated political leaders are not even aware of the basic ground realities of the state.
