ROPAR, 6th May 2026 (WISHAVWARTA):- Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Wednesday called out the BJP for attempting to turn Punjab into a laboratory of fear and violence ahead of elections, alleging that the recent bomb blasts in Amritsar and Jalandhar were part of a deliberate strategy to destabilise the state after the passage of the anti-beadbi law. Drawing parallels with West Bengal, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said the BJP thrives on creating communal tension, panic and unrest in poll-bound states to polarise voters, but asserted that peace-loving Punjabis would never allow the saffron party to destroy the hard-earned harmony of Punjab for electoral gains.
Addressing the media on the sidelines of the Shukrana Yatra, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “The BJP is trying to create unrest in Punjab on the pattern of Bengal ahead of elections, but the people of Punjab are politically aware and united against such conspiracies.”
The Chief Minister stated, “Violence, divisiveness and communal tension are the patent of the BJP and an integral part of the saffron party’s politics. BJP is trying to incite violence and fear in Punjab on the pattern of Bengal to win the ensuing polls. However, BJP’s nefarious designs will never succeed in Punjab because anything can germinate on the fertile land of Punjab, but seeds of hatred can never grow here.”
Reaffirming the AAP Government’s commitment to maintaining peace, unity and democratic values, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said every Punjabi begins the day by praying for the wellbeing of all humanity. He asserted that Punjab has always stood as a symbol of communal harmony, resilience and brotherhood, and any attempt to disturb this atmosphere would be firmly resisted by the government and the people alike.
Condemning the recent blast incidents in the state, the Chief Minister said such incidents reflected the BJP’s brand of politics, aimed at spreading terror and panic to polarise society and garner votes. “This divisive politics is being pursued by the BJP in every poll-bound state for electoral gains. The people are already upset over the passing of the sacrilege act, and BJP wanted to exploit sacrilege incidents to create communal tension and make people fight among themselves,” he said.
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann further stated that the passage of the Jaagat Jot Sri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar Amendment Act, 2026 had effectively foiled such conspiracies. “Now that the Jaagat Jot Sri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar (Amendment) Act, 2026 has been passed, they will not be able to fulfil their nefarious designs. Frustrated by this, the BJP is now resorting to attempts to disturb the hard-earned peace of Punjab, but such moves will not be allowed at any cost,” he added.
The Chief Minister said these developments clearly indicate attempts to destabilise Punjab ahead of upcoming elections, but assured people that every such conspiracy would be defeated. “Punjab is a peace-loving state and Punjabis are politically aware and vigilant. They understand the divisive agenda behind such tactics,” he asserted.
Reiterating the state government’s zero-tolerance policy against activities threatening Punjab’s safety and integrity, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said those responsible for the blasts would soon be exposed and brought to justice. “All those involved in this heinous crime against humanity will be brought to book and put behind bars very soon. The strictest punishment will be ensured for these people because the Punjab Government has zero tolerance for any activity that threatens the peace, safety and integrity of Punjab,” he said.
Responding to queries regarding recent election results and allegations raised in other states, the Chief Minister said serious questions were being raised over the functioning and neutrality of the Election Commission of India, which he termed unfortunate and dangerous for democracy. “Questions surrounding the neutrality of the Election Commission are fatal for democracy. Doubts regarding the electoral process must be addressed transparently and the Election Commission should come forward to clear the air because such issues strike at the very core of democracy. This is nothing short of the murder of democratic values,” he said.
Reiterating the Punjab Government’s commitment to transparency, justice and public welfare, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann called upon the people of Punjab to remain united and vigilant against forces trying to disrupt the state’s harmony. He said it is the bounden duty of every citizen to safeguard Punjab’s peace and assured that the Punjab Government is leaving no stone unturned for the welfare and wellbeing of every section of society.
