Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, on Wednesday, contrasted his 10-day official trip to Japan and South Korea with suspended Congress leader Navjot Kaur Sidhu's “Rs 500 crore for CM” remark. Mann said that while he wanted Punjab's progress, the Opposition, by declaring rates for the CM’s post, has shown its intentions.
Training his guns at the Opposition, Mann said, "People know who is working hard for Punjab. It will not happen that after paying Rs 500 crore for a CM chair, one will serve people. He will first recover Rs 500 crore, and thereafter, he will try to make a profit. It seems they have issued Punjab's tender."
Talking to the media about his official visit, Mann said, "I want to bring the latest technology to Punjab, and I want to see Punjab’s youths becoming successful here."
He gave a presentation of his official trip to Japan and South Korea to seek investments in the state in the run-up to the 6th Progressive Punjab Investors' Summit scheduled from March 13-15 in Mohali. He said many Japanese and South Korean companies were keen to invest in Punjab in different sectors.
