All 13 seats in Punjab will be contested in the seventh and final phase of the Lok Sabha elections on June 1, with results announced on June 4. Dhami praised PM Modi’s leadership, stating that India’s progress over the past decade is unparalleled and that the country has gained significant global recognition due to Modi’s efforts. He criticized the Congress party for not prioritizing Punjab’s development during their 60 years in power, contrasting this with Modi’s initiatives like commemorating December 26 as Bal Diwas to honor Guru Gobind Singh’s sons and opening the Kartarpur Corridor.

Additionally, Dhami accused the AAP government of corruption, mentioning that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is under scrutiny for the excise policy “scam” and claimed that corruption is rampant in the Punjab government.
