Union minister Ravneet Singh Bittu criticized the AAP-led Punjab government for delays in development projects, particularly the School of Eminence, alleging apathy towards education and infrastructure. He claimed the stalled projects were a result of administrative failure and political convenience, impacting public interest. Bittu also defended changes to the MNREGA scheme and accused the government of misusing civic employees. He suggested a "shadow alliance" between Congress and AAP within the INDIA bloc, where they avoid accountability for each other's shortcomings.
