Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday criticized traditional political parties for their anti-people stance, claiming they prioritize family over state interests.

Addressing a crowd after inaugurating development projects worth Rs 177 crore, Mann lauded recent efforts to strengthen sacrilege laws, protecting Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji's sanctity.

Mann took a jab at Akali Dal's 'Punjab Bachao Yatra,' dismissing it as a family-centric power grab, contrasting it with his government's focus on issues like education and healthcare.
