Aam Aadmi Party stands up for labourers, Letters written by MGNREGA workers echo in Punjab Assembly
Chandigarh, 30 December 2025 : In Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party has once again proven that it is the true well-wisher of the poor and labourers. The party’s MLAs have launched an unprecedented campaign to raise the voice and demands of more than 10 lakh MGNREGA worker families in the state.
AAP MLAs arrived at the special session of the Punjab Assembly carrying lakhs of letters written by MGNREGA workers. These letters narrate the pain and struggles of those hardworking families who sustain their lives through work under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGA). It is notable that MGNREGA workers were also present in the Punjab Assembly today.
The Punjab government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has not limited these letters merely to being presented in the Assembly, but has resolved to send them directly to the Prime Minister. The objective is to make the Central Government aware of the real condition of the workers and to demand immediate solutions to their problems.
MGNREGA : AAP committed to carrying the voices of the poor
MGNREGA workers in Punjab are facing several serious issues. The biggest problem is the delay in payment of wages, which severely affects the livelihood of poor families. In addition, many workers do not get work on time, forcing them to face unemployment. The Punjab government alleges that due to the Central Government not releasing MGNREGA funds on time, the implementation of the scheme weakens and workers suffer immensely.
The Aam Aadmi Party launched this initiative to carry the voices of the poor and marginalised directly to the corridors of power. Through this campaign, the party is building pressure on the Central Government to release MGNREGA funds on time and ensure workers receive their rightful dues.
The Aam Aadmi Party has always stood with the poor and labourers and will continue to do so in the future. This campaign is proof of that very commitment.
