Punjab CM Bhagwant Singh Mann to meet President on May 5 over Rajya Sabha MP defection; says betrayal of mandate will be raised at highest level
CHANDIGARH: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Wednesday announced that the Punjab Government will meet the President of India, Droupadi Murmu, on May 5 to raise the issue of what he described as illegal and unlawful defection by seven Rajya Sabha MPs, including six from Punjab, while asserting that such actions amount to a betrayal of the people’s mandate.
During a press conference on Monday, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated, “We have received confirmation from Rashtrapati Bhawan, and on May 5 we will meet the President of India to raise the issue of illegal and unlawful defection by seven Rajya Sabha MPs, including six from Punjab. These MPs who have disrespected the mandate of the people deserve no mercy as they are the traitors of Punjab and Punjabis.”
He added, “Those who are terming this defection as the order of the day or a tradition are justifying a grave disregard for the people’s verdict. This is unacceptable, and those speaking in such a manner appear to be preparing to shift their allegiance.”
*Smooth passage of budget & every bill proves strong mandate; critics must answer on unfulfilled guarantees: CM Bhagwant Singh Mann.
Reaffirming the strength of his government, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the Punjab Government enjoys full confidence both inside and outside the Vidhan Sabha, making any demand for a floor test unnecessary. “The budget has been passed smoothly, and every single small or big bill passes the floor test, which clearly reflects that the government is in an absolute majority in the House,” he said.
