Punjab expected to procure 132 lakh metric tons wheat: Chief Secretary
Punjab is expected to procure 132 lakh metric tons wheat, out of which 17.14 lakh metric tons have already been acquired, Chief Secretary Anurag Verma said on Sunday.
Slamming the opposition for misleading the people by distorting facts, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Saturday said that opposition leaders are upset because they can’t digest the smile on faces of those youth who have got the jobs.
Addressing the gathering during a function to distribute job letters to 560 Sub Inspectors in Punjab Police, the Chief Minister slammed those who are unnecessarily making hue and cry over the issue of recruitment.
Mann said he always yearns and dreams for making Punjab a number one state in the country. He said that he does not require any certificate from anyone regarding his love for Punjab and Punjabis.

The CM dared Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia and Congress leader Amarinder Singh Raja Warring to clear the test of Punjabi language with 45 per cent marks in one month.
Mann said these leaders who had taken education from Sanawar and Doon school can’t clear this exam. The CM said he had remained with former finance minister Manpreet Singh Badal and he used to read Punjabi newspapers for the BJP leader as he was not well versed with it.
Training his guns against the opposition, the Punjab CM said those leaders whose ancestors felicitated the perpetrators of Jallianwala Bagh massacre have no moral right to question him.
He said these leaders have backstabbed the state and its people during their days of power. Mann said that these leaders never bothered about giving jobs to the youth due to which they are now peeved over the smile on the face of newly recruited youth.
The CM alleged that Punjab Congress chief Warring had minted money illegally by installing bodies of buses from Rajasthan when he was the transport minister in the previous Congress government.
He said the details regarding this scam will be shared in the coming days to prove how the state’s money was plundered. Mann said this despite the fact the bodies of buses could have been installed from within the state.
