Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, on Wednesday, campaigned for the AAP candidates for the upcoming Municipal Corporation elections in Amritsar and assured the people of AAP's commitment to transforming the city into a world-class destination.

He later campaigned in Jalandhar and Phagwara.

 Mann highlighted the unique historical and cultural significance of Amritsar, calling it the “land of martyrs” and a place visited by millions annually to see landmarks like Sri Harmandir Sahib, Durgiana Mandir, Jallianwala Bagh, and Wagah Border. He outlined AAP's vision to enhance Amritsar’s infrastructure, economy, and tourism potential.

He outlined a comprehensive plan for Amritsar's development, focusing on key areas such as electric buses, market upgrades, underground cabling, wastewater management, and economic growth. Mann emphasized the introduction of eco-friendly electric buses with modern charging stations to curb pollution and enhance public transport and also highlighted plans to revamp old markets and decongest narrow streets to restore their appeal, beautify the city by replacing overhead wires with underground cabling, and clean the polluted drains along the Amritsar-Wagah road to improve sanitation and environmental health. Additionally, he stressed the importance of promoting tourism to encourage longer visitor stays, which would boost the local economy through increased spending on shopping, hospitality, and other businesses.

Mann urged residents to vote for AAP candidates in the municipal elections, emphasizing that local governance directly impacts the quality of life in the city. He assured that AAP’s candidates are well-known to the people and are committed to solving local issues. “With an AAP-led municipal corporation, we can ensure swift resolution of Amritsar’s problems,” he said.

Highlighting the success of the state government, CM Mann mentioned the unprecedented recruitment of 50,000 youth into government jobs purely on merit without corruption or favoritism. He stressed on the need to extend this honest and efficient governance to the municipal level.

“The broom is not just a button on the voting machine; it is a symbol of hope, change, and the better future of your children,” CM Mann said, urging citizens to vote for the AAP symbol on December 21.

Campaigning in Jalandhar in favor of AAP candidates for the municipal corporation elections, he led a roadshow with party leaders and workers, appealing to people to ensure the victory of AAP candidates.

Addressing the people, Mann outlined a comprehensive plan for Jalandhar's development and reiterated the party's promises to curb pollution in Jalandhar city and enhance public transport by introducing electric buses with modern charging stations, eliminating garbage mountains, and creating a better sewage system.

The roadshow saw the presence of AAP Punjab President Aman Arora, Working President Sharry Kalsi, Cabinet Ministers Mohinder Bhagat, Harbhajan Singh ETO, Dr. Ravjot Singh, along with Jalandhar's MLAs, councilor candidates and a large number of party workers.

He highlighted the government's  achievements in the fields of health and education and said his government has eradicated the mafia system that had plagued Punjab for years. Taking a dig at Akali-BJP and Congress leaders, he said, "We do not take a share in sand mines, buses, and dhabas; we share the joys and sorrows of the 3.5 crore people of Punjab."
