Mann will complete 5 years as Punjab CM; drugs, corruption ‘biggest’ problems, says Kejriwal

New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday asserted that Bhagwant Mann would complete his five-year term as the chief minister of Punjab, trashing opposition parties’ claims that he would be removed from the post.
However, Kejriwal also said drugs and corruption were the biggest problems in Punjab where the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) under Mann has been in power for the last three years.
Kejriwal and Mann offered prayers at the Golden Temple on the completion of three years of the party’s government in the state on Sunday.
Kejriwal, the former Delhi chief minister, arrived in Amritsar on Saturday after completing a 10-day Vipassana meditation session in Punjab’s Hoshiarpur.
During the Golden Temple visit, 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, 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. Three crore people of Punjab have come together to wage war against drugs and corruption… this is a battle for nyay (justice),” he said.
