Amritsar, January 18
After Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday announced Bhagwant Mann as its chief ministerial candidate ahead of the Punjab Assembly elections, celebrations erupted in the AAP’s district unit. The decision was welcomed by the party leadership in the district and volunteers. The decision came after Kejriwal after AAP conducted a tele-voting drive in which Mann scored the maximum approval.
Dr Inderbir Singh Nijjar, senior AAP leader from district and party candidate from Amritsar South, said Bhagwant Mann was a sympathetic leader of Punjab. “The golden future of Punjab can be wished under the leadership of Bhagwant Mann as he left his profession in entertainment industry to join the people’s movement and serve the people of the state. He has dedicatedly worked towards development and upliftment of people no just in his constituency but also state. He could have earned crores staying in his earlier profession but he chose not to. He doesn’t even own a house, which shows that he is not a money-minded person.”
Meanwhile, district unit of AAP also celebrated the announcement by distributing sweets and dhol beating.
