AAP election campaign in Punjab

Overview

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has initiated a statewide door-to-door election campaign for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in preparation for the 2027 Assembly elections. Launching from the Dhuri constituency, the campaign utilizes the theme ‘Mann Da Munafa’ to present a governance report card to households. The initiative emphasizes the financial advantages of government welfare schemes, including free electricity, healthcare, and education, which Mann claims provide an annual benefit of ₹1.82 lakh to every family in the state.

As the campaign progresses, the AAP has reported political gains, specifically in the Sri Anandpur Sahib constituency where several leaders and workers from the Indian National Congress have defected to the AAP. These members cited satisfaction with local development projects, such as improvements to roads, bridges, and irrigation infrastructure, as their reason for joining.

While the AAP highlights achievements in employment and agriculture, the Punjab BJP has criticized the administration, accusing the government of failing to address the drug menace in the state.
