On basis of the voting, AAP National Convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal formally declared that Aam Aadmi Party’s trusted soldier and veteran leader Sardar Bhagwant Mann will be the party’s CM face in Punjab.
The event also marked the presence of Shri Bhagwant Mann’s mother and younger sister. While his mother took to an emotional prayer for the wellbeing of the society, his sister was reminiscent of the struggle he had faced to rise to this stature today.
Shri Arvind Kejriwal said, “Today is a historic day for Punjab in a lot of aspects. Every single person in Punjab is eagerly waiting to know the name of the CM candidate from the Aam Aadmi Party. Over the past few months, wherever I would visit people always asked me, “Who’s the Dulha? Who is AAP’s CM candidate?” I’d tell everyone to be patient, that patience is rewarding. That the Aam Aadmi Party will give you a CM candidate whom all of Punjab will be proud of.
He continued, “Bhagwant Mann Ji is my younger brother. Had I simply announced his name on my own, then people would point fingers and say that ‘Kejriwal nominated his brother. He has practised nepotism like all other parties.’ So we decided that we would not take this approach. We would instead ask the 3 crore people of Punjab whom they want to see as their next Chief Minister
