Former minister Balbir Sidhu levels financial irregularities allegations against Mohali BDPO
Former Punjab Health Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu has accused Mohali Block Development and Panchayat Officer (BDPO) Dhanwant Singh Randhawa of serious financial irregularities and demanded his immediate suspension. Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, Sidhu urged Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to launch a thorough investigation into the alleged scams. Sidhu alleged that Rs 13.32 lakh was sanctioned for the beautification and renovation of a pond in Bakarpur village, but no work was carried out. Similarly, Rs 1,72,406 was shown as spent on constructing a garbage shed in Kurda village, which, he claimed, does not even exist. 'The BDPO office has become a hub of financial scams and corruption. Randhawa is targeting opposition-aligned village heads under the protection of MLA Kulwant Singh,' Sidhu said. He further stated that Randhawa is already booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act in a case registered on March 5, yet no action has been taken. He also cited the example of former Sarpanch Davinder Singh, claiming he was falsely implicated in an illegal mining case, in which the court later granted anticipatory bail. 'Randhawa has a history of forgery cases, including those registered in Khanna, but no action has been taken because of political backing,' Sidhu added. He also revealed that Baljinder Singh Garewal, District Development and Panchayat Officer (DDPO), had submitted a complaint against Randhawa to the department on May 19, but instead of taking action, the department transferred the DDPO himself. The former minister further alleged that issuing utility certificates for panchayats involves rampant bribery under Randhawa's tenure. Present at the press conference were Harkesh Chand Sharma, Davinder Singh (ex-Sarpanch of Kurda), Hakam Singh, Gulzar Singh, and Gyan Singh, among others. When contacted for a response, Mohali MLA Kulwant Singh dismissed Sidhu's claims, saying, 'the former health minister is completely idle these days and has lost his mental balance'. 'Balbir Sidhu is a rejected politician who has been thoroughly disowned by the people of Mohali. These baseless allegations are just his way of trying to stay relevant in the news,' the MLA remarked.
