New Delhi, March 1: Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has declared that the year 2027 will mark the beginning of a nationwide political change, starting with a decisive mandate in Punjab. During an AAP rally in the national capital today, Mann stated that the party’s recent legal successes prove that “truth remains truth” and that efforts to dismantle the Aam Aadmi Party have been exposed.
The Chief Minister asserted that the party’s foundation in honesty has forced a shift in the national political discourse. He noted that Arvind Kejriwal compelled other political entities to include schools, hospitals, and employment in their manifestos rather than focusing solely on religion and caste. Mann maintained that the current administration’s success in providing free electricity and improving infrastructure made it difficult for opponents to compete fairly.
Addressing the central government’s policies, the Chief Minister cited several instances of what he described as authoritarian politics, including the withholding of essential funds. He affirmed that the denial of GST dues and promised flood relief to Punjab would be answered with a “resounding mandate” of 100 seats in the next assembly election. “This nation does not belong to any one individual,” Mann declared, asserting that those in power must remember they are temporary custodians of the state.
The Chief Minister also drew parallels between the current political struggle and India’s freedom movement. He stated that just as historic revolutionaries used the courtroom to present their arguments to the public, the AAP has used its legal challenges to strengthen its national resolve. He affirmed that despite the repeated court dates, which he termed a form of punishment in themselves, the party’s “think tank” remained focused on the welfare of the people.
In a statement shared on social media following the rally, the Punjab CM maintained that the gathering at Jantar Mantar proved the nation stands with Arvind Kejriwal. He stated that the battle to defend democratic values would continue with resolve, starting from the soil of Punjab.
