They are not fully aware of the issues. He said, “The Punjab government has not even broken its milk teeth. This party was born out of deception.

Responding to this, Anil Vij said that Chandigarh has an issue, but it is not a stand-alone issue.

Punjab government laid its claim on Chandigarh
The resolution states, “Punjab was reorganized through the Punjab Reorganization Act, 1966, in which the State of Punjab, the State of Haryana, was reorganized into the Union Territory of Chandigarh and parts of Punjab to the erstwhile Union Territory of Himachal Pradesh.” Since then, a balance has been maintained in the administration of common assets such as the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) by giving management positions to candidates from the states of Punjab and Haryana in some proportion. trying.”
It said, “Recently the Central Government has posted outside officers in Chandigarh and introduced Central Civil Services Rules for the employees of Chandigarh Administration, which is completely against the earlier consensus. Chandigarh city has been declared as the capital of Punjab. In the past whenever a state was bifurcated, the capital remained with the original state. Therefore, Punjab is staking its claim to transfer Chandigarh completely to Punjab.”
