Bhagwant Mann opened the AAP's new grassroots push from Dhuri on Sunday, promising that families could save an average of ₹1.80 lakh each year under the party's welfare programmes.
Mann listed free electricity, free medical care at government clinics, free schooling, capped private‑school fees, old‑age pensions, free ration and a women‑focused financial safety net as the backbone of the government’s record.
The chief minister also used the platform to attack the opposition. He decried internal strife between the Congress and the Shiromani Akali Dal, labeling the Akali party a “ghost” in Punjab politics, and challenged the BJP’s anti‑drug campaign, alleging that drug trafficking has entered the state via Gujarat.
The door‑to‑door drive, according to Mann, is a direct line to voters, bypassing media and political rallies. He said people already know the benefits they receive; the goal is to remind them of the government’s work and counter the opposition’s narrative.
The AAP team will continue the outreach across all 13 districts, aiming to visit 200,000 households over the next two weeks, with a coordinated social‑media push to amplify the message before the 2027 assembly polls.
