This is an extremely low-level and ignorant statement,\u201d Dhaliwal said.<\/p>\n<p>He strongly clarified that the funds Punjab receives are not a \u201cfavour\u201d from the BJP or the Prime Minister. \u201cPunjab contributes significantly to the nation through GST, taxes, and the hard work of our farmers and industries. Whatever financial assistance comes to Punjab is our rightful share. It is not Modi\u2019s personal money, nor does it come from the BJP\u2019s office,\u201d Dhaliwal asserted.<\/p>\n<p>The AAP leader reminded that Punjab is still waiting for its pending dues, including \u20b9800 crore RDF funds that the Centre has withheld. He questioned why the BJP has not compensated Punjab adequately for the losses caused by recent floods, despite announcing \u20b91600 crore. \u201cThe Centre is trying to snatch our water, weaken our institutions, and now its leaders are insulting Punjabis with such irresponsible remarks,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Dhaliwal also slammed the BJP for its mistreatment of farmers during the historic farmers\u2019 protest. \u201cFor one and a half years, lakhs of farmers sat on the roads of Delhi. Over 700 farmers were martyred. Modi did not give even five minutes to hear them. And today BJP leaders dare to question Punjabis\u2019 rights?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Calling Gejja Ram\u2019s statement a direct insult to Punjab, Dhaliwal said it mirrors the BJP\u2019s anti-Punjab ideology. \u201cThis statement is not just unfortunate; it is disgraceful. AAP Punjab strongly condemns this mindset. Punjab has always given more than it has received, and no one can question our contribution to the nation,\u201d Dhaliwal concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dhaliwal to BJP leader: It Is Not Modi\u2019s Personal Money Nor BJP\u2019s Office Funds Punjab News: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab Chief Spokesperson and MLA Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal on Thursday issued a sharp and unequivocal condemnation of BJP leader Gejja Ram\u2019s recent statement, calling it \u201cdeeply objectionable, childish, shameful, and a reflection of the BJP\u2019s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":55538,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,21,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest","category-political-news","category-punjab"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
