'Make Bhagwant Mann CM Again': Kejriwal Launches Early 2027 Campaign Pitch In Punjab
With an eye on the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal has urged voters to grant Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann another term, arguing that the state's ongoing transformation should continue without interruption.
Addressing supporters during a public outreach programme in Mohali, Kejriwal said the current government had laid the foundation for long-term reforms but still had several goals left to achieve. He appealed to residents across Punjab to rally behind Mann and ensure the continuation of AAP's governance model.
The former Delhi Chief Minister used the occasion to showcase the state government's welfare and development initiatives, claiming they had improved the lives of ordinary citizens. He pointed to measures such as subsidised electricity, expanded healthcare coverage and efforts to strengthen rural infrastructure as examples of the administration's work.
Kejriwal also launched a sharp attack on previous governments, alleging that decades of rule by traditional political parties had left Punjab struggling with major social and economic challenges. He argued that the state had begun moving in a new direction under the current administration and warned against reversing that progress.
Calling on party workers and supporters to begin mobilising at the grassroots level, Kejriwal urged them to take the government's message into villages, neighbourhoods and urban communities ahead of the next electoral battle.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann echoed the sentiment and criticised opposition parties, accusing them of treating power as a revolving arrangement while failing to address public concerns. He claimed Punjab's political landscape had changed significantly since AAP came to power and said voters were increasingly backing alternatives to traditional political formations.
Mann also asserted that public support for the ruling party remained strong and maintained that the opposition had struggled to reconnect with voters across the state.
