Jalandhar bypoll: Mann says oppn ran negative campaign; AAP talked about development

After his party won the Jalandhar Lok Sabha bypoll, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday alleged that opposition parties ran a negative campaign but AAP put up a positive agenda and sought votes on the basis of development.

Mann said AAP talked about farmers and labourers, giving 300 units per month free electricity to people, opening ‘mohalla clinics’, building schools and roads, ensuring congenial atmosphere for industry, whereas the opposition “sought votes in the name of caste, religion”.

“We sought votes on the basis of development and work we have done,” Mann said.
