On Sunday, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann initiated the Aam Aadmi Party’s statewide door-to-door outreach campaign in Dhuri. This campaign aims to present the government’s achievements directly to residents while also targeting opposition parties as the 2027 Punjab assembly elections approach.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann highlighted the welfare schemes and initiatives of his government, including free electricity and free medical facilities through Aam Aadmi Clinics
Mann also highlighted old-age pensions, free ration and financial assistance being provided to women under the Mawan Diyan Yojana. The BJP, meanwhile, has been conducting its own Nasha Mukt Punjab campaign, accusing the Punjab government of failing to control the drug problem. The AAP government has rejected the criticism and maintained that it is taking steps to combat drugs and strengthen law enforcement. Starting from Dhuri, Mann and AAP workers are expected to reach out to households across the state, highlighting the government’s welfare schemes and development initiatives while seeking to counter the opposition’s campaign against the state government. The outreach is being positioned by AAP as a direct connection with voters, with party workers tasked with taking the government’s achievements and welfare measures to people at the grassroots level.
The chief minister claimed that the government’s welfare measures and other initiatives had resulted in an average saving of around Rs 1.80 lakh per family. The door-to-door campaign comes as political activity in Punjab intensifies ahead of the 2027 assembly elections.
During the outreach, Mann said the purpose of the campaign was to directly communicate with people and inform them about the work carried out by the AAP government. He said people themselves were aware of the benefits they had received from the government’s schemes. Targeting the Opposition, Mann said the Congress and Shiromani Akali Dal were fighting among themselves, while claiming that the Akali Dal had been finished from Punjab politics.
