,
Now they do not have any department left. The special thing is that he was retained for 20 months, which did not exist in the documents itself. Dhaliwal’s holiday has increased the movement in political corridors.
The government has kept silence on the reasons for the resignation. Before voting in Ludhiana West light, BJP accused Dhaliwal of saving drug smugglers. Its video was also released. However, Dhaliwal described the allegation as false.
Now read the first case in which Dhaliwal’s name came
1. BJP said- Dhaliwal rescued drug smugglers About 22 days ago, when campaigning was going on for the by -election in West light in Ludhiana, BJP state general secretary Anil Sarin accused Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal of helping drug smugglers. Sarin said that he has revealed a video of Kuldeep Dhaliwal through social media. This video is from the police station Ajnala. Police of police station Ajnala caught Karmaveer Singh and Sahajpreet Singh with 50 grams of heroin. Both the youth are close to the minister Dhaliwal. Dhaliwal himself went to the police station to get them released.
2. Dhaliwal said- I had instructed the youth to send the de-addiction center. After this, Dhaliwal wrote on social media- Police of Ajnala police station arrested two drug addicts. I came to the police station and ordered them to send them to the de -addiction center, as they are young boys. I felt that they needed to be punished.
3. Sarin said- Personal benefit of Dhaliwal After this, Sarin said that 50 grams of heroin comes in commercial. Dhaliwal has such strength or law that he is ordering drug addicts to the de -addiction center instead of jail. Dhaliwal has any personal advantage in this case.
Ever the most powerful, now empty handed When the Aam Aadmi Party government was formed in 2022, Kuldeep Dhaliwal was given 3 Ministries of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Department, Village Development and Panchayat, NRI Affairs. In the early months, he was also considered close to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. He made announcements as a representative of CM from several forums. During the cabinet reshuffle in 2023, the Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare was also removed and he was given only administrative reforms and NRI departments.
Removed possession from the ground, but suffered losses in politics While a minister, Dhaliwal had launched a big campaign to remove illegal occupation from the lands of the panchayat. In May 2022, in 10 days, possession was removed from about 1,200 acres of land from across the state. He also freed hundreds of acres of land from Fatehgarh and Siswan villages of Mohali. Apart from this, 26,300 acres of Shamlat land was identified, which was illegal occupation. His move was commendable in the eyes of the public, but proved to be a loss deal for him in inside politics. The panchayat department was withdrawn from them when they were advancing this work.
There were ministers of the department which was not there On 1 June 2023, when the Agriculture Department was withdrawn from him, he was assigned the responsibility of the Ministry of Administrative Reforms. But this was the same department which was merged in 2012 and which was never activated again. Dhaliwal was a minister of such department for 20 months, who had no office and employee. Finally, on 7 February 2025, this department was completely removed through gazette notifications and only the NRI department survived.
Kuldeep Dhaliwal is an MLA from Ajnala assembly seat of Amritsar.
Department came into existence in 2009 The Administrative Reforms Department of Punjab came into existence on 8 January 2009 with the establishment of the Punjab Administrative Reforms Commission. The main objective of this commission was to provide better services to the people by simplifying administrative processes in the state.
Online NRI started getting Dhaliwal became the first minister of Punjab to start an online “Milani” program with NRI Punjabis. Through this, Punjabi settled worldwide can connect directly to the government. Till now he had done more than 7 online union.
After resignation, 3 questions from Dhaliwal ….
Why did you remove and now what is the plan next? The party will know why he removed from the cabinet. Any person who works should be given a chance. My light people have chosen me by voting. I will give my life for the development of that area. Light has to be made number one. Now I will work in Ajnala for the next one and a half years. Wherever the party imposes my duty, it will work.
Now you had only one department NRI department, were you angry about reducing the department? I am not involved in the battle of the people. I did not leave even a day in 10 years. I was told by CM Mann that someone else has to give a chance. I said okay I did not go to a five -star hotel in 3 years. My life is simple. Leaving the child, I have come from America for the good of Punjab.
After the resignation, your performance is being questioned, what do you have to say? I am like an open book. I have rescued 11 thousand acres of land in a year. Punjab is the first for me. Posts have no importance. My mind is comforted that I worked 100 %.
