According to him, both the AAP government in Punjab and the BJP-led Centre are responsible for this disaster. He said they must accept their failure. Baghel also criticized the central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for ignoring Punjab during this crisis.

The floods have continued for nearly two weeks, and thousands of people remain affected. Baghel alleged that AAP ministers and MLAs only toured flood-hit areas for photos and publicity instead of providing real relief. He called this attitude irresponsible and unfair to the people who are still struggling.

By terming the crisis a man-made disaster, Baghel demanded accountability from both the state and central governments. His remarks have sparked political debate, as Punjab continues to face the impact of heavy flooding.

Arora visited flood-hit areas in Ajnala and Ramdas along with PWD Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO and MLA Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal. He reviewed the damage and inspected ongoing relief operations by the district administration.

He said nearly 3 lakh acres of farmland, mostly paddy, remain under water. Farmers face huge crop losses weeks before harvest. Many households also lost livestock, worsening the crisis for rural families that depend on dairy and farming.

Arora criticised the BJP-led Central Government for ignoring Punjab. He said the state has lost ₹50,000 crore in revenue since GST and another ₹8,000 crore is stuck under RDF and MDF. He also pointed out that PMGSY projects worth ₹828 crore were scrapped, weakening rural connectivity.

The minister said current relief rates—₹6,800 per acre for crop damage and ₹1.20 lakh for homes—are unfair. He demanded ₹50,000 per acre for farmers and higher aid for houses and deaths. “Punjab needs urgent help, not photo sessions,” Arora said.
