KHATKAR KALAN (NAWANSHAHR): Bhagwant Mann, who took oath as the Punjab chief minister at a mammoth ceremony on Wednesday, in a short speech cautioned his party leaders and workers against displaying arrogance or ego and said that all of them should remain humble and modest as their party’s government belonged to all.
Punjab governor Banwarilal Purohit administered the oath of office and secrecy to Mann, who spoke Punjabi throughout. The whole event was over in barely 15-17 minutes and the swearing-in ceremony barely took five minutes to complete even with two renditions of the national anthem at the beginning and end of the constitutional ceremony, which was conducted by chief secretary Anirudh Tewari.
