NEW DELHI: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann announced today a notable shift in migration patterns as young residents are returning from abroad to secure government jobs within the state. This development, he claimed, marks a positive turn for Punjab’s employment landscape.
Speaking at a ceremony where appointment letters were distributed to 417 recruits at the Municipal Bhawan, Mann highlighted that the state government has thus far issued job letters to 44,667 individuals across various departments.
The Chief Minister emphasized that these positions were filled through a rigorous, merit-based selection process, enhancing the youth’s confidence in the state’s governance and reducing their inclination to seek opportunities overseas.

Mann asserted that the appointments were made solely on merit, with successful candidates emerging from a competitive examination process. This approach, he believes, has contributed to a reversal of the brain drain trend, with more young people opting to stay in Punjab rather than moving abroad.
Criticizing previous governments, Mann questioned why such large-scale recruitment had not been achieved in the past 75 years. He accused former leaders of neglecting the youth’s needs, which fueled the desire among the youth to seek opportunities outside the country.
The Chief Minister also targeted traditional political parties, accusing them of overlooking significant achievements of his government, such as the creation of 44,667 jobs, the provision of 300 units of free electricity, and financial support for families of martyrs.

Mann went on to criticize former leaders like Parkash Singh Badal and Captain Amarinder Singh, alleging that their long tenures were marked by self-serving practices rather than genuine public service. He contrasted this with the current government, which he claimed is dedicated to the well-being of the common people.
In a pointed remark, Mann observed that former leaders who once dominated Punjab politics are now struggling to gain support, humorously noting that Akali leaders are seeking forgiveness from Sri Akal Takht Sahib without specifying their transgressions. He lauded the people of Punjab for decisively rejecting leaders who, in his view, had consistently deceived them.
