Our mission is 2027—We will surpass AAP’s historic 2022 victory – Aman Arora
LUDHIANA: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, addressing the gathering during the Executive Summit in Ludhiana, expressed his deep gratitude towards the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) volunteers, calling them the true driving force behind the party’s success.
Mann praised AAP Volunteers' unwavering commitment and described them as passionate torchbearers of the party’s ideology. Mann also emphasized the ongoing efforts to bring positive changes to Punjab and assured volunteers of the party’s unwavering commitment to the people.
"AAP volunteers are not just political workers; they are a revolution in themselves. Whenever the party calls upon them, they respond immediately without hesitation, dedicating themselves fully to the cause of clean and people-centric politics, " said Mann.
The Punjab Chief Minister lauded AAP National Convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for fundamentally changing the political discourse in India. "Earlier, election manifestos were filled with divisive agendas based on religion and caste. It was AAP that forced all political parties to focus on real issues like education, healthcare, and free electricity. We compelled them to change their priorities because we showed that good governance is possible, " he asserted.
Mann also praised senior AAP leaders, including former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and ex-Health Minister Satyendar Jain, for their transformative contributions to Delhi’s education and healthcare sectors. "Manish Sisodia revolutionized government schools, making them world-class institutions. Satyendar Jain introduced a healthcare model that became a benchmark across India. Their work has left an indelible mark on the lives of common people, " he stated.
Mann said, "Sanjeev Arora, who is contesting from Ludhiana West, has utilized the Rajya Sabha funds for hospitals and schools for underprivileged children. Our leaders have clear instructions from our convener: public money should be used for the public." He also acknowledged the rise in the number of AAP representatives, noting, “In 2022, we had 92 representatives, and now we have 95. Thousands of our sarpanches, councillors, and mayors have been elected. The responsibility of Punjab has been entrusted to us, and we assure you that our AAP family will never have any greedy members.”
The Punjab CM also highlighted the speech of AAP Punjab President Aman Arora, endorsing his vision and strategy for the party’s future growth in Punjab and beyond. "AAP is not just a party; it is a movement. Under the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal, we will continue to expand and bring governance that prioritizes the people over politics, " Mann affirmed.
Mann said, "For areas where drug peddlers are causing harm, we’ve created a WhatsApp number for people to report, ensuring that the information remains confidential. We consider those who use drugs as patients, and we will provide them treatment and employment."
Mann said, "In the last three years, we have cleaned up the mess created by previous governments. The work has just begun. We have been guided by Arvind Kejriwal, who has shown us the new direction, and today, we will outline a road map for Punjab's future under his leadership."
Mann concluded by urging AAP supporters to stay united and work tirelessly for the party’s mission of clean governance, vowing that AAP will continue to fight for the rights of the common people and ensure transparency and accountability in administration.
Addressing the Executive Summit Punjab President Aman Arora called upon party workers to stand strong in the fight against corruption and injustice. Reflecting on AAP’s resounding victory in municipal elections, he credited the hard work of grassroots workers and urged them to continue their unwavering dedication.
Arora emphasized that AAP’s leadership, under Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann, is deeply committed to Punjab’s progress. He likened party workers to high-voltage power lines, cautioning adversaries against underestimating their strength. Looking ahead to 2027, he urged the cadre to work relentlessly, pledging to surpass AAP’s 2022 record-breaking mandate. He concluded by rallying party members to take Kejriwal’s message to every village.
