Modi Govt Has Imposed Undeclared Lockdown on Country Through Restrictions & Inflation: CM Bhagwant Singh Mann
PATNA; Launching a sharp attack on the BJP-led Union Government over rising inflation, restrictions on citizens, and alleged manipulation of democratic processes, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Monday said the Narendra Modi-led Centre has pushed the country into an “undeclared lockdown” while hiding the true state of the economy from people. Pointing out that the Centre artificially suppressed fuel prices until elections and is now burdening citizens immediately afterwards, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann demanded that the Union Government publicly disclose the actual status of India’s oil, gas, and gold reserves.
The Chief Minister asserted that the Punjab Government and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) would ensure that neither genuine voters are deleted nor fake voters added during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in Punjab. Speaking on the Jaagat Jyot Sri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar (Amendment) Act, 2026, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said the law has fulfilled a long-pending demand of the Sikh sangat across the globe by ensuring strict punishment for beadbi of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
PM Modi Must Reveal True Economic Condition of the Country
Interacting with media persons, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said the Narendra Modi-led Centre has effectively imposed an undeclared lockdown in the country. “The consequences of these restrictions are being borne by the entire nation while the Centre continues to hide the real condition of the economy from people,” he noted.
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said the Prime Minister should publicly disclose the country’s oil, gas, and gold reserves so that citizens can understand the actual condition of the nation. He stated, “The people of the country have the right to know the truth about the economic situation. The Centre should place complete information regarding oil, gas, and gold reserves before the public instead of concealing facts.”
Centre Using Global Situation to Justify Inflation Burden
Targeting the Centre over fuel price hikes, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said the Central Government deliberately refrained from increasing fuel prices before Assembly elections in various states but immediately after the elections concluded, fuel prices were increased by ₹3 per litre and may rise further in the coming days. He stated, “Under the guise of war in Gulf countries, people are being crushed under the burden of inflation through repeated fuel price hikes.”
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann further remarked that if Prime Minister Narendra Modi cannot himself explain the country’s present economic condition and foreign policy, then he should ask his friend, US President Donald Trump, about it.
Restrictions on Citizens While PM Continues Foreign Visits
Speaking about restrictions being imposed on citizens, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said it was ironic that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was advising people to avoid foreign travel while he himself was travelling abroad. He said the country was passing through strange circumstances where “work from home” was being promoted but the real truth was being hidden from people. CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated that people should not suffer inconvenience because of the whims and fancies of leaders and termed the situation unwarranted and undesirable.
