Apprising the Prime Minister about pathetic fiscal position of the state, Bhagwant Mann said that the previous governments have left a whopping burden of Rs. 3 lakh crore on the state and demanded immediate financial package of Rs.50,000 crore each for two years to put the derailed economy on the rails. Bhagwant Mann hoped with this financial help, the state’s economy would become self-sustainable and economically viable during the third year.

Pointing out further, Bhagwant Mann said his government on its own would also strive hard to fill the empty coffers by completely wiping out the mafia from the state.

ਵਧਦੀ ਮਹਿੰਗਾਈ ਨੂੰ ਲੈ ਕੇ ਭਟਕੇ ਲੋਕ ! ਸਰਕਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਪਾਈਆਂ ਲਾਹਨਤਾਂ!

Reiterating his firm commitment, the Chief Minister said that his government would leave no stone unturned to make Punjab as No.1 state in the country which would also brought laurels for the country at the global level.
