Punjab CM Criticizes SGPC Chief
The Chief Minister of Punjab, Bhagwant Singh Mann, had a big meeting with the people.
He criticized the head of a religious group, Harjinder Singh Dhami, for saying he is a soldier of a political leader instead of a religious figure.
Mann said this is not good and that the religious group has done bad things in the past.
He also talked about how his government is helping farmers and building new roads.
He even announced who will be the AAP's candidate for the next big election in 2027.
Mann said his government is working to make Punjab better and safer for everyone.
Punjab CM Bhagwant Singh Mann criticized SGPC President Harjinder Singh Dhami for aligning with political leader Sukhbir Singh Badal.
Mann accused the Akali Dal and SGPC of misdeeds, including the disappearance of 328 copies of the Guru Granth Sahib.
The CM announced AAP leader Talbir Singh Gill as the party's candidate for the Majitha Assembly seat in the 2027 elections.
