Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday cautioned his party MLAs against making any recommendation for any illegitimate work and asked his party MLAs to work to solve the problems of the people.

He also asked the MLAs of the Aam Aadmi Party to work hard to turn Punjab into a vibrant state.

“If you make a recommendation for someone, it means you are taking away someone else’s right,” he said, cautioning the legislators not to make any illegitimate recommendation. Mann gave the advice while addressing his party’s 91 MLAs at Mohali here.

“People have given us a very big mandate. We have to reach every nook and corner to resolve people’s issues. We have to bring change in people’s lives,” said Mann in his address.

“Wherever there is a problem we have to go there. We should not see we got less number of votes from this village,” said Mann.
