This victory of the Aam Aadmi Party in the Punjab Assembly elections is very special in many ways. The candidates the party has put up in front of the veterans are not high profile, yet they have dusted the veterans in the electoral fray. Something similar happened on the seat of Amritsar East. Jeevan Jot Kaur, who defeated Punjab Congress President Navjot Singh Sidhu and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia, is a common worker of the Aam Aadmi Party here. Know how the padwomen of the area became the reason for Sidhu and Majithia out of power.
This was the first election battle of Jeevan Jot Kaur, in which she registered a historic victory. Defeated two veteran candidates Navjot Singh Sidhu and Bikram Singh Majithia. In Amritsar East seat, Sidhu got 32,807 votes, Majithia got 25,112 votes. While Jeevan Jot Kaur secured 39,520 votes.
People know from padwoman
Talking to media persons after the victory, Jeevan Jot Kaur said that the party had announced to give her an election ticket from Amritsar East in the month of December. But he won because of Arvind Kejriwal’s Delhi model. Kaur is a social activist, known as “Padwoman” for her campaign to promote menstrual hygiene in Amritsar. Kaur has served as the chairperson of SHE Society, a non-profit organization to create a drug-free society. She has also been a long-time associate of the Ikoshi Menstrual Health Program, which aims to make Amritsar a clean and healthy city for women.
Jeevan Jyot Kaur in a conversation with India Today said, “People have voted for change in Punjab. This is the magic of Arvind Kejriwal’s Delhi model. I am happy that people have voted for change. They voted for the Delhi model. It is the victory of the common people. I have taken the responsibility wherever I have been given. I will be a good MLA. I will be with the people of Amritsar East. We have made many promises and we need to fulfill them. Is.”
