Punjab CM designate Bhagwant Singh Mann resigns from membership of Parliament. Mann later told ANI, “I will miss this House. Punjab has given me huge responsibility. But I promise people of Sangrur that a bold voice will echo in the House soon. I thank people who trusted and voted for their son.”
Bhagwant Mann will take oath on Wednesday and his cabinet later on. The ceremony will be held at the native village of freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, Khatkar Kalan.
Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP has won Punjab by a landslide vote, practically wiping out the state’s ruling Congress, the Akali Dal and the BJP.
AAP won 92 seats — up from 20 in 2017, its vote share rising to a massive 42.4 per cent.
Earlier, Mann told ANI , I request people to reach Khatkar Kalan on March 16th (for the swearing-in ceremony). I request my brothers to wear yellow turbans that day and sisters to drape yellow shawls/stoles. We will colour Khatar Kalan in ‘Basanti rang’ that day.
