Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday led a massive roadshow in Tarn Taran alongside senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia to extend support to the party’s candidate Harmeet Singh Sandhu, who officially filed his nomination papers earlier in the day.
Sharing the moment on X, Bhagwant Mann wrote,
“AAP candidate Harmeet Singh Sandhu ji has filed his nomination papers. Joined by Manish Sisodia ji, we are LIVE from Tarn Taran during the roadshow.”
Massive Public Response in Tarn Taran
The roadshow witnessed an overwhelming turnout of local residents and supporters, who gathered in large numbers to cheer for the AAP leaders. Slogans of “Inquilab Zindabad” and “Bhagwant Mann Zindabad” echoed through the streets as the convoy moved through key areas of the district. The vibrant atmosphere reflected the growing public trust in AAP’s leadership in Punjab.
Strengthening AAP’s Ground in Border Belt
Tarn Taran, known as a politically significant border district, has been a focal point for all major parties in Punjab. With the upcoming elections nearing, AAP is aiming to solidify its presence in rural and semi-urban belts. The presence of both Bhagwant Mann and Manish Sisodia highlights the party’s commitment to grassroots outreach and strengthening organizational structure at the local level.
Focus on Development and Clean Governance
During his address, Bhagwant Mann reiterated his government’s focus on development, employment generation, and corruption-free governance. He emphasized that AAP’s politics is centered around honesty and public welfare — the principles that have guided his journey from a common man to the Chief Minister’s chair.
Manish Sisodia, recently re-emerging into active campaigning, lauded Mann’s leadership in Punjab and said that the “AAP model of governance” will continue to empower people through education, healthcare, and transparent administration.
Message to Opponents
The show of unity between top AAP leaders in Tarn Taran sent a strong message to opposition parties. Political observers see this rally as a strategic push by the AAP to retain its dominance in Punjab while expanding its voter base in regions that were earlier traditional strongholds of rival parties.
