On his first visit to the city after taking over reins of the Punjab Congress, he alleged the state government was neck deep in corruption and the common man's life had become miserable.
The law and order had deteriorated in the state and anti-social elements were ruling the roost, Bajwa alleged.

Bajwa visited the Golden Temple and the Durgiana Temple and offered prayers.
