Bharatiya Janata Party Punjab President Sardar Kewal Singh Dhillon today said that as the nation celebrates twelve years of transformative leadership under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the people of Punjab should know the facts about the unprecedented financial assistance, infrastructure development, welfare initiatives and farmer-centric schemes delivered by the Government of India to the state during this period.
Sardar Dhillon stated that contrary to the misleading narrative propagated by certain political parties, data clearly establishes that Punjab has received historic support from the Modi-led NDA Government. He said that more than ₹4.13 lakh crore has directly flowed to Punjab through tax devolution, grants-in-aid, GST compensation and central loans.
Punjab received over ₹1.84 lakh crore through tax devolution, ₹1.48 lakh crore in grants, ₹39,997 crore as GST compensation and more than ₹40,767 crore in loans and advances from the Centre. He emphasized that Punjab's share in central taxes has consistently increased under successive Finance Commissions during Prime Minister Modi's tenure, demonstrating the Centre's commitment to the state's development.
Highlighting major achievements, Sardar Dhillon said that Punjab has benefited from ₹43,527 crore worth of National Highway projects, ₹34,488 crore in railway investments, ₹6,552 crore under PM-KISAN, ₹5,773 crore under the Jal Jeevan Mission and ₹5,295 crore under the National Health Mission. More than 11 lakh farmers have benefited from PM-KISAN, while over 17 lakh rural households have received tap water connections.
Punjab has also witnessed major healthcare expansion through Ayushman Bharat, AIIMS Bathinda, new medical colleges and over 565 Jan Aushadhi Kendras providing affordable medicines. The BJP Punjab President said that these achievements reflect the spirit of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas.”
He asserted that the Modi Government has not merely announced schemes but delivered tangible results on the ground in the form of better infrastructure, improved healthcare, farmer welfare, social security, employment opportunities and enhanced connectivity. The last twelve years, he said, represent a new era of development, good governance and nation-building for Punjab and the country.
