He said Punjab was run from Palaces and big houses, but now Punjab will be run by localities, villages and towns.
“My first decision will be to bring an end to unemployment. Youth of the state are having syringes (to take drugs), I have to give them work. How many of them are studying in Ukraine ? They have to pay crores of rupees for MBBS seats here. Now no need to go outside, we will set our house in order with the broom. You (voters) have fulfilled your responsibility, now it’s my turn. Have faith in me. I will slowly but surely bring Punjab on track. You will see a difference in a month’s time,” the AAP leader said.
Mann said from now on, no government office will have a photo of the CM but of Bhagat Singh and BR Ambedkar.
“I will not take oath (as CM) at Raj Bhawan or anywhere else but at Khatkar Kalan (the historical village where Shaheed-e-Azam Sardar Bhagat Singh was born),” he added.
Thanking AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal for touring the state for the poll campaign despite bad health, Mann said Punjab’s schools and hospitals will be improved on the lines of Delhi, power will be made available for industry at cheaper rates and the state will be made safer for women.
