The Chief Minister emphasized that AAP is a party built with blood and sweat, and that AAP leaders and workers are fully committed to the party.

All Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs, including Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, met with party supremo Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi today. The meeting, called by Kejriwal, took place at the residence of the Punjab Chief Minister in Delhi to ensure that the defeat in Delhi does not affect the morale of party leaders and workers.

After the meeting, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann stated that Punjab will be presented as a model of development for the entire country in the lead-up to the upcoming assembly elections. He also rejected the Congress's claim that dissenting voices are rising within the party’s Punjab unit.

The Chief Minister emphasized that AAP is a party built with blood and sweat, and that AAP leaders and workers are fully committed to the party. It is worth noting that senior Punjab Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa had recently claimed that more than 30 AAP MLAs are in touch with the Congress and could switch sides at any time.
