Amritsar, June 8-

Addressing the gathering here today, the Chief Minister said that those who had usurped the money meant for the well being of poor students in form of post matric scholarship scheme are confronting several health ailments. He said that this money is now being spent on their treatments in the hospitals as they are facing the wrath of Almighty. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that these rulers of the state were completely insensitive towards the problems of the common man and have always treated the SC brethren as merely vote banks.
Training his guns at his predecessors, the Chief Minister said that these leaders had built huge palaces by amassing whopping wealth by misusing their official positions. He said that the walls of these palatial palaces were high and the gates usually remained closed for the people. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that these leaders remained inaccessible to the people due to which they were ousted by the masses.

Bhagwant Singh Mann said that these haughty politicians had always taken the people of state for granted due to which they were ultimately shown the door by people.
The Chief Minister said that the convent educated leaders of the previous governments had never bothered to improve the level of education in the state. He said that the sole reason was that their own kids used to study in big private schools at hills whereas only the children of common man studied in the government schools. On the contrary , Bahgwant Singh Mann said that his government has been focusing on ensuring that the lives of the common man can be transformed by providing quality education to them.
