Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann dismissed the BJP’s claims about an Enforcement Directorate notice, saying the allegations are unfounded.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann responded to a letter circulated by the Bharatiya Janata Party that referenced an Enforcement Directorate (ED) notice alleging financial irregularities. The BJP’s communication suggested that the ED was probing matters linked to Mann's administration, prompting political debate.
Mann categorically denied any wrongdoing, stating that the allegations lack factual basis and appear to be a political maneuver aimed at tarnishing his government’s image. He emphasized that no credible evidence has been presented and urged the public to disregard the claims.
The BJP has not issued a further comment on Mann’s rebuttal. The exchange comes amid heightened political activity in the state, with both parties gearing up for upcoming electoral contests.
