Land Pooling Is for farmers profit and to end corruption Raj of illegal colonisers : CM Mann
”Your ₹1 Crore Acre Will Become ₹4 Crore Property” – CM Mann Explains Policy Benefits
Illegal Colonies Were Loot by Akali & Congress Govts, We Will Redevelop with Dignity: CM
”No Land Will Be Taken Without Consent” – Chief Minister’s Bold Promise
Chandigarh, May 28:Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann addressed concerns and misconceptions surrounding the state’s land pooling policy during an extensive interaction with the people during his 'AAP Sarkar, Aapke Duwar' Program in Patiala. With an emphasis on transparency, inclusivity, and the welfare of the people, CM Mann reassured the public that the government is not acquiring land forcibly but is, instead, seeking the consent and input of farmers and landowners for sustainable urban development projects.
Refuting rumors spread by opposition parties to further their own propaganda against this transparent and public friendly scheme, CM Mann said, "Some are creating baseless panic that the government plans to forcibly acquire your land. I am here today to clarify that we are not taking away anyone’s land without their agreement. We are here to seek your advice, ensure your participation, and bring development to your doorstep."
Highlighting previous practices under past governments, he exposed the opaque manner in which land acquisitions were conducted, "Earlier, leaders like Sukhbir Badal approved plans, then shared them with their favourite few, the result was massive profiteering by a few, while farmers and common people were left to suffer. Those days are gone now. We are committed to transparency and fairness."
What is Land Pooling?
CM Mann explained the fundamentals of the land pooling policy, which provides significant benefits to landowners.
Voluntary Participation: Landowners can choose whether or not to participate. Those who do not wish to give their land can continue using it for farming or other purposes.
Guaranteed Returns: For every acre contributed, landowners receive: Residential Plot of 1,000 square yards in developed urban areas and Commercial Space of 200 square yards for shops or showrooms. These plots and spaces, once developed, will have significantly higher market value.
No Additional Costs: All development costs, including roads, drainage, electricity, and water supply infrastructure, will be borne by the government.
"For instance, if your land is worth ₹1 crore per acre today, the developed property you receive in return will be worth ₹3-4 crore. You can keep the property, rent it for consistent income, or sell it at your discretion," CM Mann elaborated.
The Chief Minister also addressed the rampant issue of unapproved colonies in Punjab, a legacy of poor planning and corruption under previous administrations:
"Illegal colonies mushroomed across Punjab, leaving residents without basic amenities like sewage, electricity, or potable water. Builders and developers made profits and abandoned people. Our government is determined to regulate and redevelop these colonies, ensuring every resident gets access to modern facilities."
CM Mann stressed the importance of bringing modern urban planning to rural Punjab, "Our villages deserve the same quality of life as cities. Planned development will ensure proper sewage, parks, electricity, and clean water. This is not just about infrastructure; it’s about giving our rural population the dignity they deserve."
The Chief Minister strongly criticized opposition parties for spreading fear and misinformation, "Half of these leaders, who now claim to stand with the people, are builders themselves. They are friends with land mafia and were responsible for selling off Punjab's lands to their associates at throwaway prices. They fear our policies because they bring accountability and remove corruption from the system."
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann also cited an example of Akali leader Manpreet Ayali, highlighting his personal stake in opposing the land pooling policy. Mann said, "Manpreet Ayali fears this policy because it brings transparency and accountability, which would end his cozy deals in real estate. Such people are spreading baseless rumors to protect their own businesses, not the interests of the farmers. They thrive on chaos and corruption, but their days of exploiting Punjab’s resources are over."
The Chief Minister assured that all agreements under the land pooling policy would be made directly between the government and the landowners, ensuring legal protections and eliminating any chance of exploitation.
"I am here to listen to you and seek your suggestions. Together, we can create a Punjab where every individual prospers and every village shines," CM Mann concluded, urging citizens to work with the government to make Punjab a model state for development.

*From Nabha Jailbreak to Narco Empire: Akali Dal has a long history of lawlessness and chaos: CM Mann*
*Akali Dal’s Politics Built on Lies, Drugs & Gangsters: CM Mann’s Blistering Attack*
*”Akali Dal Looted Punjab While the Poor Suffered” – Says CM*
*Sukhbir Badal’s theatrics exposed; Akali Dal betrayed Punjabis on every front : CM Mann*
Chandigarh, May 28:Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann launched a scathing attack on Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Majithia, accusing him of hypocrisy and attempting to mislead the public through baseless propaganda. Addressing the media, Mann dismantled Majithia’s recent claims while highlighting Akali Dal's dubious record during its tenure.
CM Mann slammed Bikram Majithia for politicising a recent tragic incident in Amritsar where a poor man lost his life while attempting to dispose of a live explosive device. Mann said, “Majithia questions law and order. But who is he to speak? During your regime, an SHO was shot while trying to protect the honour of his daughter, and slogans of 'Majithia Zindabad' were raised. Have you forgotten this?"
Mann reminded people of the Nabha Jailbreak incident during the Akali regime and questioned the accountability of leaders like Majithia. He emphasized how Akali leaders enabled drug mafias and gangsters, flooding Punjab with drugs and crime. “Whenever drug smugglers or mafias are caught, their connections inevitably lead back to Akali leaders,” Mann said.
Mann said, “Majithia represents a legacy where the poor were jailed for standing up, while the powerful looted Punjab without consequence.” He added, “The Akali Dal built an empire of corruption, allowing unchecked gangsters and smugglers to thrive. Now, they try to posture as saviors of Punjab. The people will no longer buy into their lies.”
CM Mann drew a stark contrast between the governance models of the AAP and Akali Dal. “Unlike Majithia, who thinks only of his personal benefits, my government is committed to policies that prioritize Punjab's common people. We will never sign off on any policy that harms Punjab or its people,” Mann declared.
Exposing Majithia’s Double Standards
Mann also lashed out at Majithia’s hypocrisy in calling for law and order reforms. “Under Badals and Majithia’s leadership, Akali Dal became a symbol of lawlessness and greed. They are responsible for throwing Punjab into the quagmire of drugs and crime,” Mann stated.
CM Mann contrasted his personal property with the opulence of Akali leaders. “Every election, I have declared my assets. My wealth has consistently reduced because I serve Punjab, not myself. Can Majithia say the same?” Mann challenged.
Mann also delivered a strong warning to corrupt leaders: “Those who exploit the poor and rob Punjab will face justice. No amount of wealth can shield you from the consequences of your actions. Remember, the prayers of the poor and honest always reach God, and their curses are unstoppable.”
Concluding his remarks, CM Mann urged the people of Punjab to reject the Akali Dal’s false narratives and to support honest governance. “The Akali Dal is a relic of a corrupt past. They’ve had their chances and squandered them. It’s time for Punjab to move forward with transparency and development,” Mann affirmed.
