“Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann Exposes Alleged Corruption: Badal Family Accused of Embezzling Crores from Punjab”
In a scathing revelation, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has accused the Badal family of plundering millions from the state coffers for personal gains. Addressing reporters in Chandigarh, Mann asserted that the Akali-BJP alliance government orchestrated a systematic manipulation of rules to favor Sukhbir Singh Badal in the construction of Sukh Vilas Hotel.
Underlining the dubious dealings surrounding the resort, Mann disclosed that a staggering Rs 108 crores in taxes were waived off for the luxury establishment, draining the state’s exchequer. Originally named Metro Eco Green Resort, this opulent retreat, according to Mann, epitomizes the exploitation of Punjab’s resources for personal luxury.
Mann elucidated the convoluted web of land acquisitions and company transfers orchestrated by the Badals, emphasizing Sukhbir Singh Badal’s substantial stake in the resort. Furthermore, Mann lamented the undue benefits showered upon the resort by the Parkash Singh Badal-led government, including SGST waivers and VAT exemptions, totaling a colossal sum of Rs 85 crores.
The Chief Minister deplored the misuse of taxpayer funds for the construction of roads leading to Sukh Vilas, highlighting blatant violations of forest guidelines. He condemned the exorbitant room rents charged by the resort, juxtaposed with the hefty tax exemptions it enjoyed.
Promising swift action, Mann vowed to recover every penny squandered from the state treasury and initiate necessary legal proceedings against the perpetrators. Emphasizing the ongoing investigation into potential legal violations, Mann reiterated his commitment to transparency and accountability in governance.
In a rallying cry against corruption, Mann affirmed his determination to safeguard Punjab’s interests, vowing to expose and hold accountable those responsible for exploiting the state’s resources for personal gain.
