Chandigarh, December 27
With the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) emerging as the biggest party in the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation elections after contesting for the first time, AAP leader Manish Sisodia said: “The results in Chandigarh have made it clear that people are all set to give a chance to Kejriwal’s model of development and they’ve broken the arrogance of those who do politics of hatred.”
Will honour Chandigarh mandate
Though Chandigarh is ruled by the Centre and BJP ministers campaigned hard, people of Chandigarh have reposed their faith in AAP. We will honour the mandate. — Bhagwant Mann, State AAP Chief
Addressing a press conference with party’s Punjab president Bhagwant Mann here today, the Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi congratulated the people of Chandigarh, the winning candidates and all other party leaders, workers and supporters. Sisodia promised them that AAP would honour the confidence that people of Chandigarh had shown in them.
He said the Delhi Government under the leadership of national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had ushered in a new era of “work politics” in the country. Today, Kejriwal’s development model is spreading across the country. The results in Chandigarh are a clear indication of this, as during the election campaign the Aam Aadmi Party appealed to the people of Chandigarh to give ‘a chance to Kejriwal’ and the people of Chandigarh rejected the BJP and the Congress.
On this occasion Bhagwant Mann said Chandigarh, the city of the most educated and capable people has defeated the current BJP Mayor, 2 former Mayors, BJP Yuva Morcha president and Mahila Morcha president and sent a clear message to the whole country that now, there was no room for divisive and hate politics based on religion, regionalism and caste, people prefer the politics of work.
Mann said the first priority of AAP was to restore the status of Chandigarh City Beautiful, which had been lost due to corrupt governance.
People want to give Kejriwal's model a chance, says Sisodia
