Aap will form government again on basis of development: Baltej Pannu

Aam Aadmi Party Punjab media in-charge Baltej Pannu has said that in the upcoming assembly elections, AAP will seek votes on the strength of its development works and governance record. He expressed confidence that the party will return to power and Bhagwant Mann will become the Chief Minister for the second consecutive term.

Baltej Pannu said that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is the first Chief Minister in the history of the state who is directly connected with the common people. According to him, Mann stops and meets people during his tours, which makes citizens feel that they have easy access to their government.

Mentioning the government's works, Pannu said that the present government has done in five years what previous governments could not do in 70 years. He stated that canal water has been provided to 88 percent of the agricultural area of Punjab, 600 units of free electricity to households, and cashless health insurance facility up to 10 lakh rupees has been provided.

Targeting the Bharatiya Janata Party, Pannu said that its leaders are making contradictory statements about fighting alone or forming an alliance on all 117 seats. He said that any strategy of the BJP will not get public support in Punjab, because people have not forgotten the nearly 750 farmers who died during the farmers' movement on Delhi borders.

He further said that the issues of BBMB, Chandigarh, Punjab University and stopped funds of Punjab will remain important concerns for voters during the elections.

Apart from this, on the issue of pollution, Pannu alleged that the BJP is defaming the farmers of Punjab to hide its administrative failures. He claimed that according to government data in Parliament, incidents of stubble burning in Punjab have been controlled by about 90 percent.
