The condition of Himachal Pradesh, he said was no better.
“The state was suffering in education and health parameters and was in dire need of improvement,” he alleged.
While urging one chance for a bright future for the school children in the state, he said that of the 14 lakh students in the state, the future of 8.5 lakhs students studying in the government schools was in darkness.
The people of the state can visit Delhi once to see the difference and change brought about by AAP in the government schools, he claimed, adding that by allocating 25 percent of the budget towards education, they had spent over Rs 80,000 Crores in the last seven years.
Speaking on the occasion Mann said that the Congress and BJP played friendly matches with each other for plundering the public wealth.
He said that like Britishers they also robbed the people of their rights but people had no other option except to elect them again and again.
“People have now found AAP as a catalyst of change in the country,” he claimed.
The winds of change that started from Delhi to Punjab are now ready to sweep the entire country, he said, adding that the AAP is ready to storm Himachal Pradesh.
Mann said that AAP is the pivot of change in the country a reflection of which is that more than 70 MLAs in Punjab are less than 35 years of age.
The CM said that while the successive governments had turned schools into Mid-day meal buildings, the AAP governments in Delhi and Punjab have transformed them into temples of learning.
Describing quality education as the panacea of all ills, he said that it is a powerful tool that can only transform the lives of people.
