AAP Aiming At Clean Sweep In Punjab, Himachal Pradesh Next Target: Bhagwant Singh Mann

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 25 Jun, 2016 04:08 PM
    AAP leader Bhagwant Singh Mann on Saturday claimed his party will win an absolute majority in the Punjab Assembly polls due next year and Himachal Pradesh would be its next target.
     
    "AAP would get two-third majority in Punjab and Himachal would be its next target. The party would repeat Delhi in Punjab and its main poll plank would be corruption, drug addiction, unemployment and brain drain," Mr Mann, who was in Shimla as member of Joint Parliamentary Committee on office of profit, said.
     
    He said the younger generation of Punjab is addicted to drugs and the youth of the state are becoming physically unfit for recruitment in armed forces.
     
    "The twin problem of brain drain and unemployment has become a bane for Punjab and the situation is so grim that the youth is taking the risk of going to war-torn Iraq for jobs," he added.
