He continued to fight the fight of laborers, farmers, students and employees by giving them a leading role. Today, when the Modi government of the center is making a free trade agreement with America, which will be a great loss to the farmers and the businesses involved in auxiliary businesses (poultry farming, fish farming, diary farms etc.). The central government is diluting the MNREGA Act and talking about 125 days and is cheating the workers.
The central government has also diluted the labor law and changed the 8-hour daily wage to 12 hours. The government will prevent farmers from sowing the crops of their choice by bringing the seed bill. The central government is giving free rein to its corporate-friendly companies to make profits in agriculture and will force them to sow the crops of their choice.

The government has failed miserably in the campaign against drugs launched by the Punjab government.
The government is also seen getting stuck badly in the campaign against gangsters and due to the free holidays given to the police by the Punjab government, it is performing the three functions of the court, the executioner and the police. The job of the police should be to present the accused in the court and the job of the court should be to punish the accused, not the police.
