Elect Dimpy Dhillon as AAP MLA for the development of Gidderbaha: Arvind Kejriwal

Gidderbaha, November 16, 2024: In a powerful show of support for AAP’s candidate Dimpy Dhillon, AAP Supremo Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann addressed a massive rally in Gidderbaha on Saturday, urging voters to back Dhillon in the upcoming by-polls and continue the progress that AAP has brought to Punjab.

AAP Supremo Arvind Kejriwal took the stage to express his heartfelt thanks to the people of Gidderbaha for their unwavering support. He highlighted the transformative changes brought by the AAP government in Punjab, which had already delivered on key promises such as zero electricity bills, free healthcare, and merit-based employment.

“Your support to the Aam Aadmi Party has been historic. Never before has any party received such overwhelming backing in Punjab. You gave us 92 seats out of 117 in 2022. Over the past two and a half years, we have been working relentlessly for the people of Punjab, ensuring zero electricity bills for households and offering free treatment and medicine at Mohalla Clinics,” said Kejriwal. 

Kejriwal said that Gidderbaha's civil hospital is in a pitiable condition and assured the people that, once Dimpy Dhillon is elected, upgrading the hospital will be a top priority. He emphasized that improving healthcare infrastructure is essential, and with Dimpy’s victory, they will ensure immediate action to transform the hospital.

He said AAP’s commitment to providing government jobs and improving the state’s education and healthcare infrastructure, noting that 48,000 youth had already been given government jobs under the AAP government. He said that for the first time in Punjab, the youth got government jobs without bribes or recommendations of politicians, it was impossible in the governments of other parties.

Kejriwal added, "We have regularized temporary employees, and the process of regularizing more employees is still ongoing. Now, government employees are not found on water tanks; they are found at their workplaces."

Arvind Kejriwal assured the people of Gidderbaha that AAP would work tirelessly to address key issues affecting their daily lives. He promised to tackle the longstanding problems of sewerage and drinking water in the region, ensuring that clean water reaches every household and proper drainage systems are in place. Kejriwal also committed to developing playgrounds for the youth, repairing village ponds, and constructing sheds in mandis. He further pledged to enhance infrastructure, including better roads and improved storage facilities for produce, ensuring the development of Gidderbaha’s rural economy. "We are committed to addressing all these issues," he said, "and we will make sure that Gidderbaha gets the progress it deserves."

AAP Supremo Arvind Kejriwal urged the people to choose an AAP MLA for the progress of the region. “For the development of Gidderbaha, you must elect an AAP MLA. It is your responsibility to add Gidderbaha’s compartment to the development train that the AAP government has been running across Punjab,” Kejriwal said. He said that many important projects had been delayed by the opposition over the past 28 years, and the only way to get these stalled works back on track was by electing an AAP MLA. "The work that the opposition has blocked for the last 28 years, you must give us the mandate to complete it," he added. Kejriwal promised that, under AAP leadership, Gidderbaha would see rapid progress and the issues that have been neglected for years would be resolved.

Kejriwal stated that there is no shortage of funds in the government. Previously, the money would end up in the pockets and Swiss bank accounts of corrupt leaders, but now, it is being used for the welfare of the people of Punjab.

“By electing Dimpy Dhillon, you will ensure that Gidderbaha will progress too. Your support will guarantee more development and a brighter future for your children,” Kejriwal added, urging the people to make the right choice in the upcoming by-polls.

“The fate of Gidderbaha lies in your hands. Just like you helped change Punjab’s future, it’s now time to change Gidderbaha’s future by electing Dimpy Dhillon,” Kejriwal concluded.

The only real certificate is the people's mandate – Your vote to Dimpy Dhillon on Nov 20th will ensure Gidderbaha's development: Bhagwant Mann

AAP delivers on promises - education, hospitals, free electricity, canal water for fields and government jobs to our youth: CM Mann

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann also addressed the people, focusing on the tangible progress AAP has delivered in the state, contrasting it with the empty promises of opposition parties. He criticized the traditional political establishment for failing to address basic issues such as sewerage, healthcare and electricity, issues that AAP has worked tirelessly to resolve.

“Earlier, politics was never about real work. Then Arvind Kejriwal came into politics and changed the direction of politics in our country. Today, we’ve made sure that every party talks about what truly matters: schools, hospitals, electricity, and employment,” said Mann. He proudly announced the recent recruitment of 1,706 new constables and sub-inspectors in Punjab Police, as well as 48,000 government jobs he gave without any bribe or favouritism.

In his speech, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann took a strong stand against the opposition, declaring that the only true "certificate" of credibility is the mandate given by the people. He sharply criticized the opposition for relying on fake and hollow claims, which he argued had no real substance. "The real certificate comes from you, the people of Punjab, through your votes," Mann stated, adding that no amount of false endorsements or deceptive narratives could compare to the power of the people's support. He attacked the opposition for their years of corruption and inaction. "Our certificate is your love and support, and that's the only one that matters," Mann concluded, saying that this election was a chance for the people to decisively reject the old, corrupt politics and embrace the genuine progress AAP offers.

“We have delivered, and we will continue to deliver. If you want Gidderbaha to be a part of this transformation, you must support Dimpy Dhillon. This election is crucial for securing the future of Gidderbaha and ensuring it gets the attention and progress it deserves,” he added.
