CM Bhagwant Mann campaigned for Ludhiana candidate Ashok Parashar Pappi

Ludhiana, May 20, 2024: Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, on Monday, campaigned for the AAP's Ludhiana candidate Ashok Parashar Pappi and urged the people to send the AAP candidate to the parliament as the representative of Ludhiana. Mann said that Ludhiana is his karambhoomi and he will do everything in his power to make it beautiful and make it the Manchester of Punjab in the true sense. Mann said that Ludhiana is the heart of Punjab and progressing Ludhiana means progressing Punjab. 

Mann took out a mega road show in various parts of Ludhiana Lok Sabha constituency and addressed the gathered crowd too. Speaking in Ludhiana East, where he was accompanied by the AAP candidate Ashok Parashar Pappi and Ludhiana East MLA Daljit Singh 'Bhola' Grewal, said that witnessing the enthusiasm of the people of Ludhiana, who joined Mann's roadshow despite the scorching heat, he is sure that the Aam Aadmi Party is winning this Lok Sabha seat. He said that in every constituency of Punjab he is getting the same overwhelming support from the people, voters of Punjab are saying in unison that 'Punjab Banega Hero, iss vaar 13-0'.

Mann said that we used to read that Ludhiana is the Manchester of Punjab, it is the heart of our state, but for some time now this heart has been suffering from many diseases, diseases which are a giving of some corrupt leaders. Mann said that Ludhiana is his karambhoomi, if he has the power to do anything good for it he'll do it. He said that he wants to make Ludhiana a beautiful city, he has big development plans for this area and he promised the people that they will make Ludhiana the Manchester of Punjab in the true sense. He said that he wants industrialists not only to come to Ludhiana themselves, he wants them to have such a congenial atmosphere that they inspire others to come with their business too. 

The youth in the roadshow addressed Mann as 'Bai ji' (Malwai word for big brother). Taking a dig at SAD and Congress, Mann said that for the first time your CM is your 'Bai ji', earlier Punjabis used to have Kaka ji, Raja Sahib, Maharaja ji, Biba ji, Chhotte Bibaji only. Mann said that one of their opponents in Ludhiana is still not clear about his political party (Ravneet Bittu) and the other one is a parachute candidate from Bathinda. So the AAP doesn't even have to worry about anyone one bit. Mann said that we do the politics of work, I'm here to talk about schools, government hospitals, infrastructure, development projects, I am here to talk about farmers and labourers and the problems of the common people.

CM Mann said that he is working to fulfill the last guarantee, Rs 1000 per month to women. He said that it will be started in a few months, the Punjab government will be saving Rs 7000 crores from electricity, due to canal water, DRS and crop diversification etc., and with that money they will start this scheme. Mann said that like free electricity, once this scheme is started the women in Punjab will get Rs 1000 every month. 

He continued that Arvind Kejriwal will come to campaign in Punjab again soon. After arresting Arvind Kejriwal, the BJP was thinking that they will finish the Aam Aadmi Party but AAP cannot be stopped or intimidated. I talk about my election campaign to Kejriwal ji daily and I share your videos of raising slogans, from these scenes of crowd and your enthusiasm there is no doubt that the AAP will register a resounding victory in Ludhiana. He said that the Aam Aadmi Party's button will be no. 1 on the voting machine and make sure that the Aam Aadmi Party is no.1 in Ludhiana.
