Tarn Taran, Oct 24 (IANS) Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann along with AAP’s Punjab in-charge Manish Sisodia and other party leaders addressed a volunteer meeting on Friday to seek support for the party’s candidate for the Tarn Taran assembly bypoll to be held on November 11.
The program saw the presence of members and in-charges from 103 villages and 23 wards of Tarn Taran assembly constituency.
Chief Minister Mann started his address by saying that Punjab has been blessed by its gurus to always lead from the front.
He said, “This land is destined to guide others; it has the divine gift of leadership.” Mann said that while Punjab is going through many challenges including drug abuse, corruption and bribery, his government is continuously working to fix and improve the system, and much progress has already been achieved.
The Chief Minister said, “People had elected Kashmir Singh Sohal for five years. He was a great man dedicated to social service and wanted to help people through politics. But destiny had other plans. Today, we have gathered here to pay tribute to him.”
Urging people to vote wisely, CM Mann said, “You will decide the fate of Tarn Taran for the next one and a half years.”
He warned against propaganda and lies by opposition parties, especially dynastic politicians who have lost their power in front of the common people.
“They are restless. Those who were ousted from their luxurious seats by the sons and daughters of ordinary homes, they are desperate to regain them. They call it the ‘2027 semi-final’, but it is not a game; it is a vote for truth and development.” CM Mann said Tarn Taran has seen days of pain and loss, when families lost several members in a single day due to violence and drugs.
He said, “Previous governments inspired our youth towards gangsterism and rebellion, scared the common people with fake FIRs and cases. But not a single false case has been registered for the last three and a half years.”
The Chief Minister asked, “Has anyone heard him talking about electricity, schools, hospitals or roads? We brought Punjab back on track after 75 years of anarchy. The journey was tough, but with honesty and intention everything becomes possible.”
