Kejriwal comes out with ‘Punjab Model’, promises justice in sacrilege cases

TIL Desk/National/Chandigarh/ Unveiling his party’s “Punjab Model” ahead of assembly polls, AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday promised justice in sacrilege cases, jobs to youth, corruption-free governance, and asserted that people want to bring his party to power to break the friendly “partnership” between the Badals and the Congress.

The Punjab model will have a 10-point agenda which will include providing free power to people up to 300 units per billing cycle and controlling the drug menace, he said. The Delhi chief minister said that with the announcement of polls, people are happy that they have got an opportunity to bring a change.

“In 1966, Punjab became a separate state. Since then till today, for 25 years Congress ruled the state while for 19 years the Badal family ruled. Both ruled the state in a partnership of sorts. Whether the Badal party came to power or the Congress, they ran their governments in partnership. When their government used to come to power, they never used to take action against each other,” Kejriwal said at a press conference in Mohali.
