Chandigarh-The Aam Aadmi Party counterattacked the statement given by former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Punjab's excise policy. Senior Aam Aadmi Party leader and Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema said that liquor mafia was rampant in Punjab during Congress rule. On the other hand, after the AAP government came, we ended the liquor mafia and increased the revenue.
Harpal Cheema said that after the formation of the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab, a lot of reform work has been done. Thanks to Arvind Kejriwal's guidance and efficient leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the revenue of Punjab government has increased manifolds. At the same time, the government system is made transparent.
He said that during the Congress government, excise revenue was Rs 6, 000 crore, but under the Aam Aadmi Party government, it has now increased to Rs 10, 000 crore. This shows that there is an honest government in Punjab right now.
He said that the opposition parties are scared of Arvind Kejriwal's Punjab visit because the people of Punjab like Arvind Kejriwal very much. The people here are very impressed with the policies of the Delhi and Punjab government. Therefore, the people of Punjab are very excited to welcome Arvind Kejriwal, who is coming to Punjab for the first time after coming out of jail.
Cheema said that it does not suit those who ran mafia rule during their government to talk about corruption. He said that the whole of Punjab knows that when Charanjit Channi was the Chief Minister of Punjab, crores of rupees of corruption, a cash pile, were recovered from his nephew, while he became the Chief Minister of Punjab for only three and a half months.
