Raghav Chadha, AAP MLA in Delhi and co-in-charge of Punjab said, ‘AAP’s have a huge victory. There is a wave of change in Punjab. The Kejriwal model of Delhi has been liked in Punjab. Raghav, who was among the people in Punjab for a year as co-incharge, said, there was a wave of change among the people. People were not happy with Congress and Akali Dal. The farmers factor has also hurt the traditional parties of Punjab. People have trusted you.
In Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party had talked about opening 16,000 Mohalla Clinics in its election manifesto. This model of health has been very popular in Delhi. The people of Punjab will get free treatment. 1000 rupees will be deposited every month in the bank account of women above 18 years. Like Delhi, in Punjab also 300 units of electricity will be provided free of cost and 24 hours a day. Will get the harshest punishment in all the sacrilege cases. Punjab will be made drug free. We will establish peace and brotherhood in Punjab. The Congress party talked about forming a women commando battalion. In every village, two girls will be given commando training and scooty. 5,000 will be given to a student who has passed class 5. 10 thousand rupees will be given to the student who has passed class 10th. The sacrilege cases will be settled by setting up fast track courts. Liquor and Mining Corporation will be formed in Punjab and every citizen of Punjab will be insured for Rs.
As Raminder Singh, the people of Punjab had a clear position regarding the elections. Everyone had seen the condition of the Congress clan. No one is ready to trust Akali Dal. Capt Amarinder Singh allied with BJP. People considered it to be opportunistic. The peasant movement has had a major impact in the elections. Farmers’ organizations also decided to contest elections at the wrong time. This was a wrong move. He should have done a lot of work for the farmers now. PM security issue, farmers and drug addiction, all these have harmed the Congress party. Sidhu himself has been seen surrounding his party on the issue of drugs and mining.
