Bhagwant Mann will romp home with a thumping margin, says Kejriwal
SANGRUR : Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said sitting MP Bhagwant Mann will win with a huge margin from the Sangrur constituency.
He said this during a roadshow — his first in Punjab in the Lok Sabha elections — that started at Khanauri in Moonak sub-division at 9am and culminated late in the evening at Barnala before passing through Lehra, Sunam, Longowal, Badbar and Dhanaula towns.
Accompanied by Mann, leader of opposition Harpal Singh Cheema and Sunam MLA Aman Arora, the AAP leader addressed his supporters and residents of dozens of villages.
“He (Mann) will create history by winning the Sangrur seat for second time. Also, the AAP will also perform well across the state and will win more seats as compared to the 2014 elections,” he said.
He condemned Congress leader Sam Pitroda for his “hua to hua” (so what if it happened) remark on the 1984 anti- Sikh riots, saying, “He should have not said this. It is unfortunate.”
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh have not fulfilled even a single poll promise they made to the people. Both have cheated on the people of the state who reposed faith in them,” he said.
“If the Shiromani Akal Dal or Congress workers offer you money take it since there will be no monitoring during polling. But vote for AAP,” he said address a gathering at Lehal Kalan village.
