Bhagwant Mann, Arvind Kejri campaign, appeal to voters for historic mandate

AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal while addressing a gathering on Tuesday made a significant announcement, promising to appoint Sanjeev Arora as a cabinet minister, if elected. “If you elect Sanjeev Arora as your MLA, we will make him a cabinet minister. With ministerial power and resources, he will transform Ludhiana West,” he said.

In a powerful show of support for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate in the upcoming Ludhiana West byelection, the former Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, along with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, addressed massive and electrified crowds in Ward 59 and 65.

Paying tributes to Gurpreet Gogi, Kejriwal expressed condolences for the untimely loss of the Ludhiana West MLA.

Kejriwal praised Sanjeev Arora for his dedication to public service and highlighted his swift action in addressing long-pending issues in the constituency. “In March, Mann and I visited Ludhiana West, where residents raised concerns about unresolved property registry issues for the past over 70 years. Within two months, Arora resolved most of the cases, even before becoming an MLA,” Kejriwal said.

Sharing an inspiring story of Arora’s charitable efforts, he narrated how the RS MP raised ?12 crore to procure a life-saving injection for a child suffering from a rare disease. “If Arora can rally the world to save a stranger’s life, imagine what he can do for Ludhiana West,” he said.

Mann praised the AAP candidate as a passionate and dedicated individual. He shared a touching story of Arora’s efforts to secure a life-saving vaccine worth ?16 crore for a child suffering from a rare disease, eventually raising ?12 crore through his connections and donations. “Arora is a man with a clear conscience and a heart dedicated to service,” he added.

Mann also emphasised the women’s strong turnout at the rally as a testament to AAP’s widespread support. “This participation shows that families have already decided to back AAP while the Opposition indulges in arrogance and slander,” he added.
