Mann Will Complete Five Years As Punjab CM: Kejriwal

Aam Aadmi Party National Convenor and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said that Bhagwant Mann will complete his five-year tenure as Chief Minister of Punjab.

“Three years ago, Bhagwant Mann took oath as Chief Minister. Today, the biggest problem of Punjab is drugs and corruption. We will take up a war against drugs and corruption… This is a fight for justice… Bhagwant Mann will complete his five years as the Chief Minister, and he will also complete the next 5 years,” Kejriwal said addressing a press conference in Amritsar.

Earlier today, Arvind Kejriwal and his wife Sunita Kejriwal offered prayers at the Golden Temple in Amritsar in Punjab. Kejriwal was also accompanied by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

Today marks the completion of three years of the chief minister Bhagwant Mann-led AAP government in Punjab.

Punjab Health Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Balbir Singh also extended greetings to Mann on the occassion.

“Three years of good governance, Arvind Kejriwal model, 3 years of change! Better schools, revolutionised primary health care via mohalla clinics, upgraded hospitals, free power, and corruption-free governance. AAP continues to put people first. A journey of progress, transparency, and transformation led by CM Bhagwant Mann,” Balbir Singh’s ‘X’ post read.

Mann took over as 17th Chief Minister of Punjab on March 16, 2022, when the Aam Aadmi Party secured a more than two-third majority in the previous assembly elections. The party went on to win 92 seats out of 117 and dethroned Congress from power.

AAP had secured a majority in Patiala and Jalandhar in the December municipal elections.

In Delhi Assembly elections held last month, BJP’s Parvesh Verma emerged as a giant-killer in the assembly election with a decisive win of over 4,000 votes over Arvind Kejriwal in the New Delhi seat. Congress’ Sandeep Dikshit came third getting over 4500 votes.

Bharatiya Janata Party won 48 seats in a historic mandate, returning to power in the national capital after 27 years. (ANI)
