Is the BJP Government at the Center Openly Discriminating Against Punjab?<\/span><\/p>\n

Punjab News:<\/span> The terrible floods of 2025 destroyed Punjab. Millions of acres of crops were submerged, hundreds of villages were flooded, thousands of families became homeless. In that difficult time, Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself came to Punjab. He did an aerial survey, made big promises in front of cameras and announced that the Central Government would give \u20b91600 crores in special aid to Punjab for flood relief. The people of Punjab felt relieved that at least the Central Government was standing with them.<\/p>\n

But today, after several months have passed, not even one rupee of that \u20b91600 crores has reached Punjab\u2019s account. Not a single penny. The Center has neither sent any official letter nor released any installment. The Prime Minister\u2019s grand announcement remained limited only to cameras and headlines. The people of Punjab are still suffering from those flood wounds and the Central Government has turned its face away.<\/p>\n

The Punjab Government wrote letters to the Center repeatedly. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann himself wrote letters to the Prime Minister and Home Minister, asked for meetings, sent reminders. Every time the answer was – \u201cIt is being considered\u201d, \u201cThe process is ongoing\u201d. But the process has not been completed till today. Hundreds died, billions were lost in damages, yet the Central Government\u2019s sleep did not break.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, when floods come in Bihar, Assam or Gujarat, the Central Government immediately announces a package, immediately transfers money. If the Chief Minister there is from BJP, the amount becomes double or triple. But Punjab? Punjab has an Aam Aadmi Party government, so here there is discrimination, neglect and punishment. BJP thinks that Punjab needs to be taught a lesson, even if millions of farmers and laborers reach the brink of starvation.<\/p>\n

Central ministers sometimes claim to have given \u20b9411 crores, sometimes \u20b9480 crores, sometimes \u20b9800 crores, but not even one rupee has come into Punjab\u2019s treasury. These false press releases are only to mislead the public. The truth is recorded in RTI and government records – not a single penny of the \u20b91600 crores has come. This is not just cheating, it is betrayal of Punjab.<\/p>\n

Punjab has always given grain to the country, protected the country\u2019s borders, given the most soldiers. But when Punjab is in trouble, the Central Government is stabbing it in the back. This is political revenge, it is regional discrimination, it is violation of constitutional rights.<\/p>\n

The people of Punjab are watching all this. The 2027 Assembly elections are not far away. The day Punjab answers back, the corridors of power in Delhi will shake. Because Punjab does not forgive, Punjab remembers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
