After the Aam Aadmi Party-led Punjab Government reshuffled its cabinet, the Leader of the Opposition (LoP), Partap Singh Bajwa on Monday said that the AAP government needs to change the engine of the train - CM Bhagwant Mann - instead of the coaches.
Senior Congress leader and Leader of Opposition, Partap Singh Bajwa, has expressed grave concern over the governance crisis in Punjab under the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) regime. Bajwa highlighted that the state’s development trajectory has been derailed since the AAP assumed power, with Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann at the helm. Despite reshuffling the cabinet four times, no substantial improvements have been observed.
“The continuous shuffling of ministers is akin to changing the coaches of a derailed train. What Punjab needs is a change of engine—Bhagwant Mann’s leadership is not delivering. His hold on the Home Department has proven disastrous, with law and order spiraling out of control,” Bajwa said.
Bajwa further pointed out that the entire AAP government has failed on every front, with no minister or MLA living up to the promises made during the elections. Whether it is education, healthcare, infrastructure, or public safety, AAP has let down the people of Punjab across the board. Bajwa emphasized that the reshuffling of ministers is merely a cosmetic change when the core issue lies in the leadership’s incapacity to govern effectively.
“It is not just the Chief Minister; the entire government is dysfunctional. From ministers to MLAs, none have delivered on their commitments. The people of Punjab deserve better governance, not the empty theatrics of cabinet reshuffles,” Bajwa concluded.
