AAP begins grassroots push in Punjab, 2.68 lakh booth workers to reach homes
Senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and the party’s Punjab affairs in-charge Manish Sisodia on Friday announced a statewide door-to-door outreach campaign from September 20, with 2.68 lakh booth committee members set to reach every household and highlight the work of the Mann government.
Sisodia said Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann will join the campaign in Dhuri, while AAP will simultaneously launch its membership drive and release its election campaign pamphlet in Ludhiana on September 19, marking the beginning of an intensive grassroots mobilisation across Punjab ahead of upcoming state assembly polls.
Sisodia, flanked by Punjab AAP President Aman Arora and Punjab AAP Working President Amansher Singh Sherry Kalsi, said, “The Bhagwant Mann government has completed four-and-a-half years in office and has fulfilled all the election promises made in 2022. From September 20, 2,68,553 booth committee members will go door-to-door across Punjab and take the government’s work and achievements to the people.”
Punjab has 25,332 booths, and the campaign will be carried out through booth committees across the state. “Our booth leaders and party workers will visit households and explain the work done by the Mann government,” he added.
Highlighting developments in Punjab under the Mann government, Sisodia said that farmers have benefited from canal water and daytime electricity supply, and that children studying in government schools are getting better facilities and opportunities for a better future.
He mentioned that the government has also taken steps to prevent private schools from overcharging parents.
“Youth, traders and women are also benefiting from the work of the Mann government. Employment opportunities and sports facilities are being provided to young people, while traders are getting an honest government,” Sisodia stated.
Regarding the AAP government’s poll promises, Sisodia asserted that the Mann government has fulfilled its guarantees on electricity and water. “Every fulfilled guarantee has resulted in an annual benefit of Rs 1.82 lakh for an average Punjab family,” he said.
Sisodia claimed that previous governments pushed Punjab towards financial distress and allowed the menace of drugs to spread. “These issues will also be highlighted during the door-to-door campaign so that people can understand the difference between the previous governments and the work done by the Bhagwant Mann government,” he said.
Punjab AAP President Aman Arora emphasised that it is the responsibility of the party and its 2.68 lakh volunteers to share facts regarding the Mann government’s success with every household and explain how successive Akali-BJP and Congress governments pushed Punjab towards financial difficulties.
Announcing the membership drive, Sisodia informed that along with the door-to-door campaign, AAP will also launch a large-scale membership campaign across Punjab. “Our volunteers will connect with people and take the government’s work directly to them,” he said.
The election campaign pamphlet will be released by Mann in Ludhiana on September 19, Sisodia said.- EndsPublished By: Ritaban MisraPublished On: Sep 18, 2026 20:11 IST
