Chandigarh, January 4, 2021
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab has intensified its preparations for the forthcoming Municipal Corporation and Municipal Committee elections. Under these preparations, the party on Monday constituted election committees in 22 districts of Punjab. In a statement issued from the party headquarters, AAP Punjab in-charge and MLA from Delhi, Jarnail Singh and AAP state president and MP Bhagwant Mann said that the committees would select suitable candidates for the elections.
Jarnail Singh said that while contesting on the party symbol, the traditional parties would be replaced with honest, educated and competent candidates, who would be from the common man and work for the people. “These elections will be fought on the party’s election symbol. It is a golden opportunity for the people this time to bring change in the cities by electing their councillors among the people, who would work for the people,” he added.
MP Bhagwant Mann said that with the party’s election symbol ‘broom’, political filth and contamination in the sanitation system would be cleaned from the streets. “Congress, Akali Dal and BJP leaders had only filled their coffers after winning. Cities, neighbourhoods and roads are in a miserable condition and garbage is piled up everywhere,” he added. Mann further appealed to the people of the cities not to face those people who had filled their coffers by looting the government treasury.
