Amid ‘Satluj’ storm in Punjab, why CM Bhagwant Mann remains silent
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has remained silent on the controversy surrounding the removal of the film 'Satluj' from an OTT platform, which has sparked political tensions among opposition parties. While Mann has been out of the state for 10 days, his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) appears to be strategically downplaying the issue to maintain focus on its welfare agenda ahead of the February 2027 Assembly elections. The CM's absence from the debate has allowed opposition parties to capitalize on the situation, raising concerns about voter engagement and welfare access.
