Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, on Sunday, campaigned for the AAP candidate Laljit Singh Bhullar in the Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha constituency. Mann addressed three huge public rallies in Khadoor Sahib, Kapurthala and Sultanpur Lodhi and thanked the people for supporting the AAP and coming out in large numbers to encourage the AAP candidates.
Mann said that the enthusiasm for the AAP campaign in this scorching heat is proof that no other party is even close to the AAP in Punjab. He said that he is welcomed with flowers and cheerful slogans whereas people literally count their fingers after shaking their hands with the other politicians.
Addressing his first rally in Khadoor Sahib Mann said that it is the time for change, just like trees shed their old leaves and give space to new ones. He said that unlike other political parties, the AAP leaders are young and are from non-political, common backgrounds.
He said that these dynast politicians have ruined the three generations of Punjab. They looted Punjab and its people and built the palaces and hotels but now they are calling the common people 'malang'. Mann said that now these 'malangs' will teach a lesson to these pompous leaders and they all will lose badly.
Mann said that they became 'rajwade' because canals literally end in their own fields whereas the Punjabis had to struggle for every drop of water.Cornering the opposition leaders in Punjab, CM Bhagwant Mann said that he organised a debate on Nov 1st in Ludhiana, but no opposition leader came.
They did not come because they are all corrupt and liars, they had no answer to all the questions I was going to ask them on the behalf of the people of Punjab. But now they all have come out like 'barsati daddu', asking for your votes after looting you for decades.
He said that according to reports we are winning from Khadoor Sahib constituency by 25,000 votes, he urged the people to make this margin 35,000 votes. Mann said that he has many plans ready for the industry in Punjab. He said that he had bought GVK thermal power plant and it was for the first time that a government bought a private thermal plant.
He said that the AAP government is already giving free household electricity. Soon the commercial electricity will be cheaper too. Industries will come to Punjab, your children will get jobs. They won't have to leave their homes and go to foreign countries for their careers.
Mann said that 90% of people call him 'bai ji' (Malwai word for big brother), they can stop me anywhere anytime to talk to me. During the rally of traditional parties the stage is set so far away from the people that they cannot even hear the voice of the people.
Once a police officer told me it is done so because otherwise the angry public throws chappals on these leaders, security reasons are just an excuse, actually they are afraid of the public because they wrong the people.CM Mann further said that Punjab led the freedom struggle of our country and the Green Revolution.
Make sure when the history of these elections is written, it is written that the people of Punjab contributed to save the constitution and democracy with the 13-0 victory of the AAP. He said that Punjab's name will be written in the golden words.
He said that Punjab has the AAP government, when the MP of Khadoor Sahib will be Laljit Singh Bhullar, the works of this area will be done with doubled pace and zeal. He said that the AAP government has constructed 44 roads in Khadoor Sahib assembly constituency alone and spent crores of rupees for the development of this area.
He said that the button of 'jharoo' will be on number 4, but make sure that it comes on top on June 4th. Mann took a dig at other parties in Punjab and said that the condition of Congress and Akali Dal is in front of everyone.
Akali dal Badal is finished in the Punjab politics and Congress is a confused bunch in Punjab. He said that Sukhpal Khaira abandoned Bhulath and went to fight elections in Sangrur, last time he went to Bathinda but lost, this time again he will taste a bad defeat.
Mann said that after arresting Arvind Kejriwal, the BJP thought that they would finish the Aam Aadmi Party. But Arvind Kejriwal is not just a person he is an idea. We have emerged from that problem as stronger than ever. Mann also attacked Sukhbir Badal and Captain Amarinder Singh for never taking stand for Punjab and Punjabis.
He said that Sukhbir Badal doesn't even know Punjabi but he wants to be an heir of Punjab, and Captain always stood by the anti-Punjab forces. He said that Narendra Modi makes no sense, he is saying that one pyara of panj payare was from Gujarat so he has blood relation with Punjab.
He said that give Khadoor Sahib to the AAP with a huge margin, we are winning in Punjab by 13-0, we are winning out seats in Delhi, Gujarat, Assam and Kurukshetra, we will be stronger to be your voice in the parliament then no one will be able to stop your work or funds.
Our unity is our strength, all other parties are fighting among themselves in Punjab, AAP is fighting for the future of your children: Bhagwant Mann
Mann thanked the people of Kapurthala for attending his rally in large numbers, saying you have taken a step towards the change. He said that for Narendra Modi rally in Patiala, the BJP brought a crowd promising them 400 daily wages. But later they even refused to give that.
Mann said that he is blessed that people love and support him. He said that the unity of the AAP leaders and workers is the biggest strength of the party. He said that the BJP, Congress and Akali Dal leaders are fighting among themselves. But the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is the only one fighting for the future of your children. He asked the people to get united and not waste their votes.
During the Kapurthala rally Mann attacked Narendra Modi and Sukhbir Singh Badal. He said that Sukhbir Badal and Harsimrat Badal cry themselves to sleep every night. Mann said that Sukhbir Badal is saying that it is his last election, if they lose badly again, he will retire and do something else. Mann urged the people to make Sukhbir Badal's retirement a reality.
Taking a dig at Congress, Mann said that they are confused. Raja Warring came to Ludhiana from Bathinda to fight this election, Khaira went to Sangrur and Singla went to Anandpur Sahib. They don't belong there. Mann said that do not waste your vote.
I'm not here to ask for votes for myself. I'm asking votes for the future of your children, for the development of Punjab and the progress of Punjabis. He said that he is not here for money. That's why he gave 43,000 government jobs without bribes or recommendations.
He said that the children of Punjab are becoming officers without giving any penny to anyone. He said that one family got six jobs. He said that resources and infrastructure are the same but they are giving so many facilities and doing public welfare works in Punjab. People are getting free electricity.
We bought a private thermal power plant. He said that everything is the same, but now Punjab has honest leaders who have clear intentions. Mann said that the opposition was saying free electricity was impossible, government jobs are impossible, regularising employees was impossible but we made everything possible.
Taking a dig at Harsimrat Badal he said that she used to write your candidate on her posters now she writes 'tuhadi nimani sevadaar' instead. He said that what kind of sewadaar they are, who disrespect gurbani and panth.
Attacking the BJP and Narendra Modi, Mann said that they jailed our national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, they put education revolutionary Manish Sisodia in jail, they put the man behind the health sector revolution in Delhi Satendra Jain in jail and they put Sanjay Singh in jail for raising his voice against Narendra Modi and his capitalist friends.
He said that there are about 6 lakh words in the Hindi dictionary, but PM Modi only speaks eight to ten words like Hindu-Muslim, temple-mosque, Pakistan and graveyard. He never speaks on problems like inflation, unemployment, poverty and hunger.
It is a matter of great shame that Narendra Modi who was the prime minister for 10 years is asking for votes in the name of Manglasutra and religion. Mann said that the BJP does the politics of hatred and fear. He said that they are scaring people that if the INDIA alliance government is formed, they will take away your things, which is a baseless lie.
He asked people to vote for the AAP candidate to send a pro-Punjab voice to the parliament.In Sultanpur Lodhi Mann said that on June 1st fulfill your responsibility and after June 4th everything will be the responsibility of Laljit Bhullar's and his. Mann said that money doesn't matter to him.
His aim is to serve the people of Punjab and he has so many plans for the development of Punjab. Mann also took a dig at the expulsion of Adesh Pratap Singh Kairon from Akali Dal and recited a new line of Kikli - "haige asi rajje pujje, par lok kehnde bhukhad ve....kal party cho kdhna pe gya, jawaka da fufad ve...."
He said that he is blessed with the love and support of the people. He said that every vote cast to Laljit Bhullar will go to him and Arvind Kejriwal. Then no one will be able to stop the funds of Punjab. Mann thanked the entire team of Khadoor Sahib for organising successful rallies and campaigning with such enthusiasm.
Mann urged the people to vote for the AAP candidate Laljit Singh Bhullar and said that he is an experienced leader who will raise issues of Punjab and the people in the parliament .This is not just an election to elect MPs, this election is about the generations of Punjab, if anyone can do welfare of Punjab, it can only be done by Bhagwant Mann and Aam Aadmi Party: Laljit Singh Bhullar
AAP Khadoor Sahib candidate Laljit Singh Bhullar said that this election is not about Laljit Singh Bhullar and Bhagwant Mann, this election is about our children and our youth, their future, this is about our country, our elders and our youth.
Every one is claiming to be panthak but only the sangat of Khadoor Sahib is panthak. He said that people have all the power in democracy and he urged the people to use their vote for the development of Punjab.
Laljit Singh Bhullar said that this is not just an election to elect MPs, this election is about the generations of Punjab, if anyone can do welfare of Punjab, it can only be done by Bhagwant Mann and Aam Aadmi Party.
