Punjab AAP to launch a nationwide campaign to celebrate four years of Mann government

Punjab Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) president Aman Arora on Wednesday announced a 10-day nationwide public outreach campaign to celebrate four years of the Bhagwant Mann government.

From Thursday, the party will take its “report card” directly to the public through 16,000 rallies, jan sabhas and nukkad (street corner) meetings. The campaign will involve ministers, MPs, local body representatives and party volunteers reaching out to every village and household.

Listing the government’s achievements at a press conference in Chandigarh, Arora highlighted that 881 Aam Aadmi clinics are currently operational, with more than 100 to be inaugurated soon to reach the 1,000 clinics mark. He added that every family in the state now has health insurance coverage of up to ₹10 lakhs.

On sports infrastructure, Arora said 3,000 stadiums have been built, while another 6,000 are under construction. “By the end of our five-year term, every village will have a sports stadium to keep the youth away from drugs,” he said.

Regarding infrastructure and finance, Arora claimed that despite the reticence of the Centre ₹8,300 crore in Rural Development Funds (RDF), Punjab is building over 40,000 km of roads. He added that the Sadak Surakhya force has reduced response times to four to five minutes.

On agriculture and irrigation, Arora said canal water has reached tail-end lands after two decades, and day power supply is ensured for agricultural pumps. I quoted a central government report which says that groundwater levels have risen by five feet in several blocks.

Highlighting a jump in fiscal numbers, the AAP chief noted that excise revenue has increased from ₹27,000 crore to nearly ₹57,000 crore, while GST collections have more than doubled ₹12,000 crore to more ₹30,000 crore.

“We are confident in our work under the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann. If the people endorse our efforts, we seek their support,” Arora added.
