Drawing a contrast with previous governments, Kejriwal alleged that Punjab had suffered under the regimes of the Shiromani Akali Dal, BJP and Congress. “During their rule, drugs spread across Punjab and the state was pushed towards decline. Bhagwant Mann has worked tirelessly to bring Punjab out of that dark phase and put it back on the path of progress,” he said.
Highlighting the government’s achievements, Kejriwal cited free electricity, Aam Aadmi Clinics, health insurance coverage and irrigation reforms. “The list of works is very long. People are happy because they can see development reaching their villages and cities,” he said, urging people to support AAP in future elections.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said the overwhelming public response reflected growing trust in the government. “The affection and support we are receiving from people across Punjab cannot be measured by any currency in the world. This love inspires us to work harder for the welfare of the state,” he said.
Congratulating newly elected Mohali Mayor Sarabjit Singh Samana, Mann described him as “young, energetic and committed to public service” and expressed confidence in his leadership.
Highlighting infrastructure and welfare initiatives, Mann said Punjab had utilised 96 per cent canal water this year, laid nearly 14,000 kilometres of watercourses and released 21,000 cusecs of water for irrigation. He also said that over 90 per cent of households were receiving free electricity, while the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna was providing cashless treatment of up to ₹10 lakh per family annually.
The roadshow witnessed a large turnout, with supporters greeting the leaders and showering flower petals along the route.
