Mohali, June 14

Thanking the people of Punjab for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)’s resounding victory in the Municipal Corporation elections, AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal and Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann addressed a massive gathering during a mega roadshow in Mohali on Sunday. Arvind Kejriwal said, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann had worked tirelessly to pull Punjab out of that difficult period and put it back on the path of progress.

Urging people to strengthen this transformation, Arvind Kejriwal said Punjab must not allow the good work being carried out by the Bhagwant Mann government to come to a halt. He added that no government in Punjab’s history had received as much affection and public support after four-and-a-half years in office as the AAP government enjoys today, contrasting it with previous governments that, he said, had lost public trust to such an extent that people would not even allow their leaders to enter villages after a similar period in power.

Addressing a massive gathering during the roadshow, AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal said, “The people of Mohali have given the Aam Aadmi Party a tremendous victory in the Municipal Corporation elections. I have come here especially from Delhi to thank all of you for the way you have endorsed the work of the Aam Aadmi Party.”

Listing the government’s achievements, Arvind Kejriwal asserted, “In the last four years, the Aam Aadmi Party has done so much for you. Electricity has been made free. Aam Aadmi Clinics have been established. Health insurance cover worth Rs 10 lakh has been provided. Women will now start receiving Rs 1,000 and Rs 1,500 in their bank accounts. Roads are being built across Punjab. Water has started reaching canal channels in villages. Farmers in villages are now receiving electricity during the daytime. The list of works is very long. People are so happy.”

He continued, “While we were coming here during the roadshow, I was observing people’s body language. They were so happy to see us. It is remarkable that after four years in government, people are so happy to see their leaders.”

Calling for support for the next election, the AAP Chief added, “Now we have only one task left. We have done so much work in five years, but there is still a lot more that remains to be done. We must make Bhagwant Mann Chief Minister again.”

Urging people to campaign in their localities, he stated, “You must go to your streets, neighbourhoods and villages and tell everyone that this time Bhagwant Mann must be made Chief Minister again with a massive majority. We have to secure an overwhelming mandate. The remaining work must also be completed.”

Congratulating Sarabjit Singh on becoming Mayor, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “Sarabjit Singh is young, energetic, passionate and eager to work for the people. I congratulate him and thank him for his commitment towards public service. I am confident that he will follow in the footsteps of his father and continue serving the people with dedication.”

The Chief Minister said the affection being showered by the people cannot be measured by any currency in the world. “Wherever we go across Punjab, we are receiving tremendous love and support from the people. Shopkeepers are busy with their businesses and farmers are occupied with sowing their crops, yet people are coming out in large numbers to express their support. I am deeply grateful for this affection. On one side is the immense love of the people, and on the other is the growing rejection of those political leaders who betrayed their trust.”

CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said the traditional political parties had ruled Punjab for decades while protecting each other’s interests. “For years, these parties looted Punjab and worked through an understanding that ensured power remained within their circle. Earlier, there were only two options before the people and both treated power like a game of musical chairs. They exploited public sentiments and plundered the wealth of Punjab. Today, the people have embraced the broom and cleansed the political system of the state.”
