Mafias thriving in Punjab: Bhagwant Mann

Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, May 12

Expressing concern over the government functioning, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) state president Bhagwant Mann today said: “The Congress government is running like a ‘mohalla’ cricket team with no ‘captain’. The one who holds the bat holds sway over the rest of the team, finally slipping away surreptitiously with the bat when finds himself cornered. It cannot be said for sure who among the ministers and bureaucrats holds the bat.”

In a statement, Mann alleged like the Badals, under Capt Amarinder Singh government, all kinds of mafias were indulging in “open loot” of the people and state’s resources. He said being the principal Opposition party, AAP had been raising its voice against different mafias thriving in the state.
