In a vigorous and impactful campaign for Dimpy Dhillon on Tuesday, CM Bhagwant Mann addressed four huge rallies in Gidderbaha. During his speech Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann attacked Manpreet Badal and Raja Warring who represented Gidderbaha for 29 years now, but did next to nothing for the people of this constituency.

Cabinet Minister Aman Arora was also present with the CM during his campaign. He said that politics should only be done on the basis of work and the AAP has done exceptional work for the people for two and half years. He said that Gidderbaha has had famous MLAs but they didn't work for the people or constituency, so now the people have an opportunity to elect an AAP candidate as their representative. Other AAP MLAs and cabinet ministers also joined Mann and Dimpy Dhillon today to do an election campaign in Gidderbaha.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday condemned the incidents of violence in Canada and urged the Centre to take up this matter with the Canadian government.

The Chief Minister said: "Canada is second home of millions of Punjabis who have settled there and carved a niche for themselves."

He said the ties with Canada must remain cordial as Punjabis have gone there and were breadwinners of their families.

CM Mann said: "It is unfortunate that politics of divisiveness and hatred has fastly spread its stinky tentacles in Canada."

The Chief Minister said: "It is unbelievable that politics of religion and hatred is being pursued on lands like Canada. He said this action of hatred and violence is highly condemnable and the government of India must take up this matter with the Canadian national government for appropriate action."

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) strongly criticized the BJP-led central government for rejecting Punjab’s demand for Rs 1200 crore to prevent stubble burning, and has accused the Centre of discriminating against Punjab.

In a press conference at the party office in Chandigarh on Tuesday, AAP MP and senior spokesperson Malwinder Singh Kang said that the Modi government has been consistently discriminating against Punjab. It has already withheld several funds from Punjab, such as the Rural Development Fund, Mandi Development Fund, and the National Health Mission Fund, amounting to nearly Rs 10,000 crore. Issues were deliberately created in the lifting of paddy. Now, they are also refusing to provide the incentives needed to prevent stubble burning. This is highly condemnable.

Kang said that the Mann government is continuously raising awareness and providing support to farmers to prevent stubble burning. Thanks to the efforts of the Mann government over the past two and a half years, the number of stubble burning incidents has seen a significant reduction in Punjab.
