AAP has given me a very big responsibility. Our first step is to form govt in Punjab. “Ki hoya je patjhad aayi, tu agli rutt vich yakeen rakhi… Main labh ke leyauna haan kiton kalmaan, tu phullan jogi jameen rakhi” Mann was quoted as saying by ANI
The announcement by AAP will put pressure on Congress, BJP, SAD to follow suit surely .
