Chandigarh, August 1

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had a lengthy discussion with Punjab MLAs in Delhi today on what could the party contribute for the prosperity of Punjab and for strengthening the farmers’ movement.

The meeting with the AAP MLAs led by state president and MP Bhagwant Mann, along with Leader of Opposition (LoP) Harpal Singh Cheema, at the Chief Minister’s residence, lasted for around three hours.

According to a statement issued by the party, Kejriwal discussed the 2022 elections and also sought detailed suggestions for strengthening the farmers’ movement.

Giving special directions to all MLAs, Kejriwal said the party’s agenda should be put aside and the farmers’ movement should be supported at all levels.

In the meeting, Kejriwal advised Punjab MLAs and the entire leadership to focus on drawing a positive campaign to liberate the state from the mafia rule in the 2022 Assembly elections. They were advised to go door to door to tell the people about their development-oriented policies.

Kejriwal sought information from all MLAs about the booth-level preparations in their constituencies. Meanwhile, Bhagwant Mann elaborated on the political, economic and social situation in Punjab. — TNS
