The official X (formerly Twitter) handle of the Aam Aadmi Party Punjab unit on Saturday shared a promotional post praising Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, highlighting a welfare initiative offering free pilgrimage travel for senior citizens across the state of Punjab. The post described Mann as a “Sarvan Putra” (devoted son), stating that his service toward the elderly is a key reason he will return to power, while also prominently featuring the slogan “Mission 2027,” indicating early political messaging ahead of the next Assembly elections.

AAP Highlights Free Pilgrimage Scheme for Elderly
According to the post, the government’s free pilgrimage scheme is aimed at supporting elderly residents who may not otherwise have the financial means to undertake religious journeys. The initiative is being projected as part of the administration’s broader welfare-centric governance model, which has focused on social support measures, subsidized services, and citizen-oriented programs since the party assumed office in the state. Party supporters amplified the message online, portraying the scheme as both a cultural and social service that respects elders while strengthening public trust.

Political observers note that such messaging reflects the beginning of long-term electoral positioning, as parties increasingly use social media narratives to build public perception years before polls. While supporters see the campaign as evidence of responsive governance, opposition voices have argued that welfare announcements should be evaluated on implementation and reach rather than promotional claims. With “Mission 2027” now appearing in official messaging, analysts believe the ruling party has begun shaping its re-election narrative well in advance, focusing on welfare delivery, public outreach, and leader-centric branding as central pillars of its political strategy in Punjab.
