Punjab CM launched anti-corruption hotline | claims it his number
Written By: Sonali Singh
Punjab Chief Minister Mann has launched an anti-corruption hotline, which he claims to be his WhatsApp number.
Mann had said earlier in the day that he would make a “very huge decision” that no one in the history of the north Indian state had ever made.
Punjab’s new chief minister, Bhagwant Mann, stated on Thursday that on Shaheed Diwas, March 23, the state will start an anti-corruption helpline. People in Punjab would be able to report corruption using WhatsApp, according to Mann.
“On Bhagat Singh Ji’s martyrdom day, we shall open an anti-corruption helpline.” That will be my WhatsApp personal number. If somebody offers you a bribe, record it on video or audio and submit it to me. Corrupt individuals will be dealt with harshly. In Punjab, corruption will no longer be tolerated,” Mann wrote in Hindi as well as Punjabi on Twitter.
“Ninety-nine percent of people are honest, but one percent causes the system to fail,” Mann explained.
The decision has been dubbed “historic”. “Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi chief minister and AAP’s national convenor, stated that corruption will no longer be tolerated in Punjab. “Make a video of the officer and send it to the WhatsApp number if someone asks you to pay bribe”. At a press conference, Kejriwal stated.
“Many congrats to the Punjabi people. Bribery will no longer be tolerated in Punjab,” he wrote on Twitter. Mann had said earlier in the day that he would make a “very huge decision” that no one in the history of the north Indian state had ever made. The Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) newly elected chief minister used Twitter to generate anticipation for the event.
“Today, a major choice will be made in the best interests of the Punjabi people. “No one in Punjab’s history has ever made such a decision. Mann stated on Twitter, “I’ll announce shortly…”, which was retweeted by AAP national coordinator Arvind Kejriwal, sparking suspicion about the announcement.
After AAP’s remarkable victory in the recently ended assembly elections, Mann took over as Punjab CM from Congress’s Charanjit Singh Channi. Mann urged the newly-elected AAP parliamentarians not to become arrogant after taking the oath of office in front of tens of thousands of people in Punjab’s Khatkar Kalan village and assured the public that the state government will work hard.
All state unit chiefs, including PCC boss Navjot Singh Sidhu, were fired as a result of the Congress’s defeat in Punjab and poor performance in the other four states. Sidhu, who handed in his resignation letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday; wished Mann well in his efforts to rise to the challenge and return Punjab to the road of prosperity through pro-people policies.
