Bhagwant Mann Launches AAP Door-to-Door Punjab Election Campaign
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has started a campaign for his party before the next state election.
He and Aam Aadmi Party workers will visit homes across Punjab.
They will explain what the government says it has done since 2022.
The message is called “Mann Da Munafa,” which means the benefit people receive from the government’s work.
Mann highlighted free electricity, healthcare, education and other support.
He said families save about Rs 1.80 lakh to Rs 1.82 lakh each year, although the reports use different figures.
He also talked about money being sent to villages for roads, drainage, water and other projects.
Opposition parties criticized the government, especially over the problem of drugs.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann launched the Aam Aadmi Party’s statewide door-to-door campaign from Dhuri ahead of the 2027 assembly elections.
The campaign promotes free electricity, healthcare, government-school education, pensions, ration and assistance under the Mawan Dheeyan Satkar Yojna.
Mann said government initiatives provide families an annual benefit of Rs 1.82 lakh, while another account put the average saving at around Rs 1.80 lakh.
The campaign’s “Mann Da Munafa” message focuses on household savings and the government’s work since 2022, including village development.
Mann criticized the Congress, Shiromani Akali Dal and Bharatiya Janata Party, while the BJP accused AAP of failing to control drugs.
