Haryana CM Alleges Punjab AAP Misused ₹1,600 Crore Flood Relief Funds
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini accused the Punjab Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government of misusing the ₹1,600 crore flood relief funds announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for Punjab last year. Saini claimed Punjab spent the funds elsewhere and failed to compensate farmers despite promises by Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann. He also alleged AAP ministers distributed and then retracted compensation cheques. Saini criticized Mann's governance and questioned the fulfillment of pre-election promises, while contrasting Punjab's handling with Himachal Pradesh's fund utilization.
