As the General Election inches closer, campaigning has gained pace in Punjab, with the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) stepping up their efforts and hitting the ground to gain support.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday held a meeting with all the MLAs of the Sangrur Lok Sabha constituency. He directed them to go to the people and apprise them of the AAP government’s achievements in the last two years.
Mr. Mann discussed election strategy with the MLAs and asked them to regularly hold meetings with all the office bearers of the party in Sangrur. The AAP’s candidate and State Cabinet Minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer said that 20 years of work by the previous SAD-BJP alliance, and the Congress governments did not come close to the AAP’s achievements in just two years. “The people of Punjab are ready to reward the good performance of the AAP government,” he said.
