Chandigarh, Mar 11 (IANS): After registering a landslide victory in Punjab Assembly elections, Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) Chief Minister-designate Bhagwant Mann and his Cabinet colleagues will be sworn-in on March 16, it was announced on Friday.

The AAP recorded a thumping win in the Assembly polls by winning 92 of the 117 seats. The ruling Congress won 18 seats, a massive decline from 77 it had won in 2017, while the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) could manage only three seats.

Mann won from Dhuri by a margin of over 58,000 votes.

Earlier on Friday, Mann met AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal at the latter's residence in the national capital, where Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia was also present.

After AAP swept Punjab on Thursday, Mann had announced that the new Cabinet would take oath of office at Khatkar Kalan, the ancestral village of freedom fighter Bhagat Singh in Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar district, and not at the Raj Bhavan.

Mann, who dons Bhagat Singh's trademark 'basanti' (yellow) turban, also said that no government office will carry photographs of the Chief Minister. Instead, photos of Bhagat Singh and B.R. Ambedkar will be put up on the walls of all government offices.

Meanwhile, outgoing Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi met Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit here on Friday and submitted his resignation.

    Kejriwal has given in writing that Mr.Channi will lose elections in both the constituencies and also Bhagwant Mann will win with more than 51000 votes, Both of his estimations have proved right, It is not Jyothisya,,,,,,but level of intelligence for sure. AAP do not need PR activities like Modi to display his photo in the Government offices, Petrol bunks and also on the Covid vaccination Certificates, This kind of Prime Minister must be thrown into Arabian sea.
