National BJP Kisan Morcha leader Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal launched a scathing attack on Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, accusing him and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of persistently misleading the people of Punjab on key issues, particularly the ongoing water-sharing dispute with Haryana. Speaking to the media, Grewal alleged that CM Mann has become a “master of lies and political theatrics,” using emotional manipulation and staged protests to divert attention from his government’s failures.
“The people of Punjab must now see through this dangerous drama,” Grewal said. Highlighting growing disillusionment among the farming community, Grewal claimed that various farmer organizations have rejected the Mann government’s role in the upcoming May 4 meeting with the Centre.
“Their demand to exclude Punjab government representatives from the talks clearly shows that farmers have lost faith in Bhagwant Mann’s leadership,” he stated. On the critical issue of inter-state water sharing, Grewal said the Chief Minister has failed to adopt a firm and responsible stance.
“Rather than seeking a solution, Mann has chosen to mislead the public with false narratives and performative protests,” he charged. Grewal also asserted that the current water distribution follows existing legal agreements, and accused Mann of spreading misinformation to cover up administrative lapses.
“This isn’t leadership — it’s cheap theatrics to save his chair,” he said. “In contrast, the BJP-led central government is committed to ensuring justice and prosperity for Punjab.”As part of the protest, Grewal joined BJP workers in burning an effigy of the Chief Minister, symbolizing public outrage over what he described as repeated lies and failures of the AAP-led state government.
He warned the public to remain vigilant, stating, “Bhagwant Mann is not just lying — he is consciously attempting to fool the people through emotional exploitation. He is a deceiver, not a leader.” The statements come amid increasing political tensions in Punjab as farmer unions, water disputes, and governance challenges continue to dominate the public discourse.
