Punjab News: Former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal launched a scathing attack on opposition parties without naming them. He said that before our government, there was a recovery system in Punjab in which money was forcibly collected from businessmen and industrialists. Many times people were deployed outside factories so that work would not proceed unless a 'donation' was given. In this environment, industries left Punjab, and the state's ranking fell to 18th place.
At a program in Chandigarh, Kejriwal said that for the first time the Punjab government is handing over its powers to industrialists. 24 committees have been formed to formulate a new industrial policy, which will decide how to increase investment in the future. This system will be transparent, and no kind of pressure or bribe will find a place in it.

— AAP Punjab (@AAPPunjab) August 8, 2025Now there is a complete ban on recovery
Kejriwal admitted that it was not possible to end the extortion system in four days, but after three years of hard work, the situation has changed. Earlier there was a tradition of taking party funds by stopping business, but now this is a thing of the past. Now investors will be able to get 'deemed permission' in 45 days, and work will start on time.
New System Implemented In Punjab
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said that our government has implemented a new system by breaking the old, rotten rules. He assured the businessmen that the government will provide every facility for investing in Punjab and will not allow any kind of hindrance in business. This change was necessary for the progress of Punjab.
Relief for MSME
The government has also taken a big decision for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME). Now those whose turnover is less than Rs 1.25 crore will not need to take any kind of government approval. This is a part of the 'Ease of Doing Business' policy, which will save both time and money for businessmen.
Boost For Small Scale Industry
With this decision, small industrialists will now be able to focus directly on their business without getting entangled in long paperwork processes. Experts believe that this step will also open up huge opportunities for entrepreneurs in rural and semi-urban areas. The government is hoping that this will rapidly create new employment opportunities in the MSME sector.
Maintaining the confidence of traders
Kejriwal said that you have given us power; now you give orders, and we will follow them. Describing himself and Mann as common people, he said that we are in power only because the public trusted us, and now it is our responsibility to fulfill that trust.
Punjab Aims For Business Hub
He also said that if businessmen face any problem in any office, they should directly contact the government. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann assured that the file of every genuine investor will move forward without any delay. Businessmen also praised this step of the government from the stage and said that such decisions can once again make Punjab a hub of business.
A step towards transparency
The government believes that this new system will not only promote business but will also curb corruption. The interference of middlemen and brokers will end, and every investor will get an equal opportunity.
This will once again put Punjab firmly on the industrial map of the country. Officials say that now an online system will be implemented for all permissions and licenses, which will reduce human intervention. The transparent process will also attract international investors. This is likely to bring new life to the economy of Punjab.
