Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann congratulated the people of Punjab on the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) resounding success in the recent by-elections. The results, announced today, have infused fresh energy into the state. AAP secured victories in three out of four contested seats — Dera Baba Nanak, Chabbewal (SC), and Gidderbaha.
Bhagwant Mann's Message of Gratitude and Commitment
CM Bhagwant Mann took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his heartfelt gratitude and commitment. He wrote: "Heartiest congratulations to the people of Punjab for the spectacular victory in the by-elections. Under the leadership of @ArvindKejriwal, the Aam Aadmi Party is reaching new heights across the country every day. We are working tirelessly, with honesty and without any discrimination, for the progress and prosperity of Punjab. Every promise made to the people of Punjab during the by-elections will be fulfilled on a priority basis. Best wishes to everyone. Inquilab Zindabad!"
Arvind Kejriwal Lauds Punjab's Faith in AAP
Reacting to the success, Arvind Kejriwal, the national convenor of AAP, extended his thanks to the people of Punjab for their unwavering trust. He tweeted: "The people of Punjab have once again expressed their faith in the ideology of the Aam Aadmi Party and the work of our government by giving three out of four seats to the Aam Aadmi Party in the by-elections. Many thanks to the people of Punjab and many congratulations to everyone."
This victory further solidifies AAP's stronghold in Punjab, with the party's tally in the state Assembly now standing at an impressive 94 MLAs.
A Win Rooted in Public Trust
The bypolls, held on November 20, 2024, were conducted in four constituencies — Gidderbaha, Dera Baba Nanak, Chabbewal (SC), and Barnala. These elections were necessitated as the sitting legislators had vacated their seats after being elected to the Lok Sabha earlier this year. AAP’s victory in Dera Baba Nanak, Chabbewal, and Gidderbaha is a testament to the people’s belief in the party’s governance and policies.
