Chandigarh, Oct. 14 -- Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Wednesday launched a sharp attack on traditional political parties, stating that they want to shut down Aam Aadmi Clinics (AAC), the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna, Rs 1,000 monthly assistance for women and free bus travel, as they cannot digest the people-centric initiatives being implemented by his government.
During a massive public gathering at village Harkhowal in Chabbewal, Hoshiarpur, after dedicating 154 new Aam Aadmi Clinics, CM Bhagwant Mann said Punjab now has 1,244 clinics, with more than 6.48 crore OPD visits recorded so far.
Highlighting that the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna covers 54.20 lakh families and nearly 8 lakh beneficiaries have received treatment, he reiterated that his government's priorities are people's healthcare, children's education and youth employment, not slogan-driven politics. Taking aim at traditional political parties for looting Punjab, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann asserted that no attempt to malign his government could shake his resolve as long as he had the love and trust of the people.
Sharing a few snippets from this occasion, CM Mann stated on X: "Today, we have dedicated 154 new Aam Aadmi Clinics to the people of Punjab. These clinics were inaugurated during a massive public rally at village Harkhowal in Chabbewal. With this, the total number of Aam Aadmi Clinics in Punjab has reached 1,244. So far, patients have benefited from free medicines and diagnostic tests at these clinics on more than 6.5 crore occasions. Our government's job is not to make people raise slogans of victory or defeat, but to ensure healthcare, education and employment for the people."
