Chabbewal/Tanda Urmar, December 18

State president of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Member of Parliament Bhagwant Mann, while appealing to the people of Punjab during public rallies at Chabbewal and Tanda Urmar on Saturday, said, “Do not stay entangled in Takaddi, Panja and Kamal, now is the time to give Kejriwal a chance.”

When Arvind Kejriwal talked of giving Rs1,000 per month to women of Punjab, the Congress, SAD and BJP all opposed Kejriwal. When the CM, ministers, MLAs and other leaders get free electricity, water, telephones, airplane rides with the money of people, then why the common people should not get free and good facilities?

Addressing the people, Bhagwant Mann asked the people to send a message to every house and all friends that “it is the Aam Aadmi Party which is worried about the livelihood of people of Punjab and now is the time for Kejriwal. So, give AAP a chance to make Punjab prosperous again.”

He said AAP supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal delivered what he promised. He proved it in Delhi where, by eradicating corruption, he increased its budget and with this extra money free electricity, water, good education and good treatment were being provided to people.

Mann said when Arvind Kejriwal talked of giving Rs 1,000 per month to women of Punjab, the Congress, SAD and BJP all opposed Kejriwal. He said when the Chief Minister, ministers, MLAs and other leaders get free electricity, water, telephones, airplane rides with the money of people then why the common people should not get free and good facilities.

Mann said only Rs 8,200 crore was required to pay Rs 1,000 to women, which would be available only if sand mafias were stopped which is costing Punjab about Rs 20,000 crore. Instead of going to the pockets of criminals and Congressmen, the money would financially strengthen women.

Commenting upon Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, Bhagwant Mann said, “Channi has not done anything during his four-and-a-half-year tenure as the Technical Education Minister. He organised job fairs as a minister, but no one from Punjab got a government job.” He said the Congress either forgot or reneged on their promises.

Criticising the Shiromani Akali Dal, Mann said the Akali Dal would show up with 94-year-old Parkash Singh Badal on stage and ask for another chance. “We have been giving them opportunities to them for over the last 70 years. They have plundered everything,” he said, adding that the Badal family had been advocating the anti-farmer laws, but when the agitation started, Harsimrat Kaur Badal resigned from the Union Cabinet, saying, “we have sacrificed for the farmers”.

On the occasion, Aam Aadmi Party leaders of Tanda Jasveer Singh Raja, Jagjivan Singh Jaggi, Satwant Jaggi, Avtar Singh, Joginder Singh, Tarsem Lal, Surinder Pal Singh, Manjit Singh, Harminder Singh, Harnam Das were present. From Chabbewal, Harminder Singh Sandhu Chabewal, district president Mohan Lal, Lok Sabha in-charge Dr Harminder Bakhshi, Kisan Wing district president Jasveer Singh, Surinder Pal Singh Sandhu, Karamvir Singh Ghuman, Gurwinder Singh Pabla, Unkar Singh, Karamjit Kaur, etc, were present.
