Chief Minister of Punjab and Aam Aadmi Party leader Bhagwant Mann says the party will gather votes for the approaching Lok Sabha elections based on the work his administration did in the past 2 years. Chief Minister's statement came on the eve of the AAP ruling administration completing two years on Friday, March 15.
After the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) stormed to power by winning 92 out of 117 seats in the state during the state assembly polls, Mann took oath as the chief minister at Khatkar Kalan on March 16, 2022.
Khatkar Kalan in SBS Nagar is legendary martyr Bhagat Singh's ancestral place. Mann along with his wife on Saturday offered prayers at Gurdwara Amb Sahib in Mohali on the completion of two years of his government.
"I prayed for the progress of Punjab," said Mann after offering prayers at the historic gurdwara.
Asked about the AAP's preparation for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, Mann said his party will seek votes based on works undertaken in the past two years.
"We do politics of work," he said.
About his government's works, he pointed towards the opening of 829 'aam aadmi clinics', giving more than 42,000 government jobs, receiving investments worth ₹65,000 crores in the state, opening of 'Schools of Eminence', 300 units of free electricity and buying of a private thermal power plant.
He exuded confidence that people would give their stamp on the works undertaken by his government. The AAP, which is a constituent of the opposition INDIA bloc, is contesting the parliamentary polls on its own in Punjab, which sends 13 members to the Lower House of Parliament.
