You’ve Done Your Job, Now It’s My Turn, Bhagwant Mann To Punjabis
Sangrur, March 10: After the historic victory of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab, MP Bhagwant Mann, along with his mother Harpal Kaur and sister Manpreet Kaur addressed the people, who gathered outside his house to celebrate the victory.
Addressing the people, Mann thanked all the Punjabis and said, “You have fulfilled your responsibility very well, now it is my turn to fulfill the responsibility.” He assured, “We have good intentions, that is why the people of Punjab have trusted us. Trust me, change will be visible in a month. Now you will not have to go to offices of government employees. Government officers won’t hinder your works by making excuses. Now the public servants will come to your houses and localities to do their job.”
Taking a jibe at the opposition parties, he said, “they abused us, tried to defame us. But we have forgiven everyone, provided they start respecting the three and a half crore Punjabis now.” Mann said that during the Congress-Akali governments, decisions regarding Punjab used to be taken in Moti Mahal, Siswan Farm House and big havelis.
Now the government of Punjab will be run from villages and Mohallas. “Those who did not vote for us need not have any kind of doubt or fear. I am their chief minister too. I have the same love and empathy towards everyone. We will work for the betterment of all the three and a half crore people of Punjab and will make Punjab prosperous again,” he added.
Mann said, “I am most worried about unemployment. Unemployed youth are forced to go abroad or get stuck in the quagmire of drugs. Punjab keeps losing money and talent due to expensive higher education and lack of employment. After assuming the responsibility of Chief Minister, on the very first day itself, I will in my position to eradicate unemployment from Punjab. We are committed to provide adequate opportunities and employment in Punjab.”
The AAP leader reiterated that the pictures of the Chief Minister and leaders will not be in the government offices of Punjab. Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar’s pictures will be displayed in government offices.
“Bhagat Singh fought for our freedom and sacrificed his life and after independence, Baba Saheb gave us the right to freedom and equality by writing the constitution of the country. It is our duty to follow their values and fulfil their dreams.”
Mann said, “he is proud of Punjabis who are keeping alive the revolution of Bhagat Singh. As a Punjabi, it is our duty to follow the path of Bhagat Singh and give him respect. Earlier chief ministers of Punjab used to take oath at the Raj Bhavan. I will take oath as Chief Minister at the village of Bhagat Singh, Khatkar Kalan.” Before Bhagwant Mann, his younger sister Manpreet Kaur and his mother Harpal Kaur addressed the gathering and thanked the people for electing Mann as the Chief Minister. Harpal Kaur got very emotional and hugged her son.
