Amritsar/Chandigarh, March 17
Arvind Kejriwal, the National Convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), arrived in Amritsar on Sunday with his wife, Sunita Kejriwal, after a 10-day Vipassana retreat. To mark the completion of three years of the AAP government in Punjab, Kejriwal, along with Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Sunita Kejriwal, offered prayers and sought blessings at Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib, Durgiana Temple, and Ram Tirath Temple. They prayed for the prosperity and happiness of all.
Speaking to the media, Arvind Kejriwal said, “Today, the Aam Aadmi Party’s government in Punjab completes three years. On March 16, 2022, Bhagwant Mann was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Punjab. Today, we have come to the court of Guru Maharaj to thank Him for guiding us over these three years and giving us the strength to continue serving the people. We have to serve the poor, those who have nothing, and ensure justice for everyone.”
Kejriwal added, “Today, the biggest issues in Punjab are drugs and corruption. The people of Punjab have now united in a war against both drugs and corruption. The three crore people of Punjab are waging this battle together against drug peddlers and corrupt individuals. This is a fight for justice. We have sought blessings from Guru Ji, asking Him to guide us and give us the strength to continue serving the people. We are not running a government; we are serving the people.”
Addressing the media, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said, “Today, the Aam Aadmi Party’s government in Punjab completes three years. Three years ago, on March 16, 2022, at the birthplace of Shaheed-e-Azam Sardar Bhagat Singh in Khatkar Kalan, the Aam Aadmi Party government took the oath of office. To transform Punjab into a vibrant state, we need to make it drug-free, improve education, and undertake significant initiatives in healthcare, electricity, and infrastructure. After three years, we have come to thank Guru Maharaj.”
Bhagwant Mann said, “Arvind Kejriwal had given certain guarantees and founded the Aam Aadmi Party with a particular vision. Keeping that vision intact, the AAP government in Punjab is working diligently. Our government is systematically waging a war against drugs. At the same time, any corruption, whether at the tehsil level or elsewhere, is being confronted with a similar intensity. Our government has been continuously providing government jobs to the youth. So far, we have provided over 55,000 jobs. We must utilize Punjab’s natural resources, including electricity and water, efficiently.”
CM Bhagwant Mann posted on X, “Today, in the holy city of Sri Amritsar Sahib, I had the honor of offering prayers at Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib along with National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal Ji. We bowed before Guru Sahib and prayed for the welfare of Punjab and Punjabis. On the completion of three years of the government for the common people in Punjab, we thanked the Almighty and wished before Guru Sahib that we continue to make decisions with sincerity and honesty for the welfare of the people.”
