Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann Accuses Centre of Misusing ED for Political Gains

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann criticized the central government for allegedly misusing agencies like the ED to target non-BJP governments. Following ED raids on state leaders, Mann accused the BJP of using these raids as a tool for political maneuvering ahead of Punjab elections, claiming democracy is being compromised.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has launched a scathing attack on the central government, accusing it of using the Enforcement Directorate (ED) as a political weapon to harass non-BJP states.

Recent raids on state minister Sanjeev Arora and AAP leaders have fueled Mann's allegations of the BJP strategizing for upcoming Punjab elections by intimidating opposition parties through federal agencies.

Mann also suggested that the central government, led by two chief leaders and their favored industrialists, is undermining democratic processes, stating that these actions resemble tactics of dictatorial rule rather than governance by the people.
