New Delhi, Sep 19: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who was admitted to Delhi's Apollo Hospital is under observation and is doing well, according to hospital sources. The Hospital sources told that CM Mann came for a routine checkup and was doing fine. However, it is unclear when he will be discharged.
There has been no official statement either by the party or the government about CM Mann’s condition. Meanwhile, Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia alleged that Chief Minister Mann had consumed liquor illegally during a chartered flight from Delhi to Chandigarh due to which he fell on the tarmac after alighting from the aircraft. He demanded an appropriate probe into the case.
Talking to the media in Patiala, Majithia claimed, “The Chief Minister partook liquor along with his OSD during the flight from Delhi to Chandigarh.” Stating that the Chief Minister was taken back to Delhi in a chartered plane which he described as a criminal waste of state resources, Majithia said, “The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government must explain why he was not admitted in any hospital in Chandigarh or Punjab? The reason is simple. If the Chief Minister had been admitted to any state hospital, the truth would have come out that he had fallen under the influence of liquor.
” The SAD leader said in a statement that this was not the first time the Chief Minister had made a spectacle of himself under the influence of liquor. He said earlier CM Mann was de-boarded from a Lufthansa.
