Former comedian and now Punjab’s CM-designate Bhagwant Mann is asking newly elected AAP MLAs to remain grounded despite a remarkable win in Punjab assembly elections 2022. He has told the MLAs to spend most of their time in villages and cities to resolve public’s problems.
Speaking to the MLAs about future way of workings during a meeting of the AAP’s legislature party, Mann said, “Work there where we sought votes. The government will run from villages, wards, mohallas. Go and meet people, have tea with them. Take officers along and resolve their issues”.
He also advised them to spend minimum time in Chandigarh, which is the joint capital of Punjab and Haryana. Further, he asked MLAs to do away with arrogance saying, “You are MLAs of those people also who did not vote for you… You are MLAs of Punjabis, and the government is formed by Punjabis.”
The 48-year-old Bhagwant Mann was born on October 17, 1973, in Sartoj village in Sangrur. He entered politics a decade ago in 2011 with the People’s Party of Punjab and first contested for the Lehra constituency in Punjab in 2012.
