Elaborate arrangements have been made for Mann’s oath-taking ceremony at Khatkar Kalan – ancestral village of legendary freedom fighter Bhagat Singh in Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar district.
“It’s a big day for Punjab today. In this golden morning of new hope, the entire Punjab will today come together and take a pledge to make it a prosperous Punjab. To witness that historic moment, I have also left for Khatkar Kalan, the native village of Shaheed Bhagat Singh,” Kejriwal tweeted in Hindi.
Over three lakh people are expected to attend Mann’s oath-taking ceremony.
The chief minister-designate of Punjab had invited people to attend the ceremony, saying three crore people of the state would also take oath with him.
