The AAP has already announced that it will contest all 90 seats in the state, claiming that people want a change in the government. Though the AAP has contested several polls in Haryana, it is yet to taste electoral success in the state.
Kurukshetra: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday asked people to give the AAP a chance at the assembly elections in Haryana, saying voting for the Congress, BJP and INLD has not improved anything in the state.
Mann cited the programmes of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) governments in Punjab and Delhi and highlighted that party national convener Arvind Kejriwal was born in the state, as he made a pitch to voters for the Haryana Assembly polls due later this year.
The AAP has already announced that it will contest all 90 seats in the state, claiming that people want a change in the government. Though the AAP has contested several polls in Haryana, it is yet to taste electoral success in the state.
Addressing a gathering here, Mann said, “Haryana gave a chance to the Congress, BJP and INLD. But nothing has improved.” In Punjab, he said, people gave the AAP 92 out of 117 seats in the 2022 assembly polls, and in the two-and-a-half years since, his government has given over 43,000 jobs to the state’s youth.
Mann said while the leaders of other parties “are either in jail or are preparing to go to jail”, the AAP government, instead was keeping an account of every penny that was “looted” by opposition parties and arrests are being made in corruption cases.
The chief minister highlighted the free electricity scheme (for up to a certain units per month) under the AAP government in Punjab and Delhi, and said that 90 per cent households in his state are getting zero electricity bill.
