AAP leaders Kejriwal and Mann mark 3 years in Punjab government with prayers at Golden Temple.
AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday (March 16, 2025) offered prayers at the Golden Temple in Amritsar on the completion of three years of the party's government in the state.
Mr. Kejriwal, the former Delhi Chief Minister, arrived in Amritsar on Saturday after completing a 10-day Vipassana meditation session in Punjab's Hoshiarpur.
At the Golden Temple, Kejriwal was accompanied by his wife Sunita Kejriwal, and AAP leaders, including minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) formed the government in Punjab in 2022 after winning 92 of the total 117 assembly seats.
Speaking to reporters in Amritsar, Mr. Kejriwal said, "On March 16, 2022, Mann saab took over as the Punjab chief minister. Today we came here to seek the blessings of Guru Maharaj (Almighty). In three years, they (gurus) guided us and gave us the strength to continue serving people." "Today, the biggest problems in Punjab are drugs and corruption. People of Punjab have launched a war against drugs and corruption," he said.
Earlier, Mr. Mann claimed that the work that has been done in the last three years had not been carried out even in the last 70 years.
"On 16 March 2022 in Khatkar Kalan, we had pledged to make Punjab a 'Rangla Punjab' (prosperous) again... we are working with good intentions and full honesty to fulfil the promise," he said.
