With just a month left for the Punjab Assembly elections, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) announced on Thursday, 20 January, that its chief ministerial candidate Bhagwant Mann will contest the elections from Dhuri constituency in Sangrur district.
The announcement comes two days after declaring Mann as its CM face in the state. After announcing Mann’s Assembly seat in Mohali, AAP’s Punjab affairs co-in-charge Raghav Chadha said, “Mann is a pan-Punjab leader and will campaign for party candidates across the state. We are the only party to go into the polls with a CM face.”
Mann tweeted on Thursday, 20 January, "The party has made it my duty to contest from Dhuri constituency. I have always received a lot of love from the people of Dhuri, the revolutionaries here will win this seat by a big margin and put it in the party's lap."
