Punjab Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa on Wednesday lambasted the AAP government for its alleged failure to protect Sultanpur Lodhi from devastating floods. Bajwa, accompanied by several MLAs, visited flood-hit areas, accusing the government of ineffective preventive measures despite spending significant funds.

During a media interaction, Bajwa expressed his frustration over the destruction witnessed, including submerged farmlands and displaced villagers. He criticized the Bhagwant Mann government for prioritizing publicity over real relief efforts, labeling their preventive measures as ineffectual.

Bajwa advocated for urgent financial compensation for affected farmers and criticized Chief Minister Mann for allegedly neglecting his duties during the crisis. Similarly, Shiromani Akali Dal's Sukhbir Singh Badal condemned the administration for inadequate response, urging immediate action over publicity stunts.
