JALANDHAR/LUDHIANA: Chief minister Bhagwant Mann on Saturday reiterated the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government's commitment to wiping out the scourge of drugs and transforming the state into Rangla Punjab by developing it as a sports hub.
Addressing a gathering at Jalalpur village in Hoshiarpur district on the second day of the Nasha Mukti Yatra, Mann said: "We are committed to eradicating the blot of drug abuse from the state and making it Rangla Punjab by redeveloping it as a sports hub, bringing an industrial revolution and providing employment to youngsters."
He blamed previous governments for ruining the state for vested interests.
"There were some who considered themselves rajas (kings) and others were maharajas. How would they understand the problems of the common man? In the past, no CM has gone to interact with the people but here I'm going village to village to tell people that the whole Punjab government is with them. We are resolving their issues," Mann claimed.
