Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann addressed a rally in Gujarat on October 16 and said that the people of Gujarat have made up their minds about ousting the ruling Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP), and have decided to give the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) a chance.
Addressing a gathering in the Bhavnagar area of Gujarat, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann said that the winds of change are blowing in the favour of AAP and have transformed into a storm. Apart from BJP, the CM also took potshots at the opposition party Congress.
Lashing out against Congress, the Chief Minister said that the party is vociferously raising the issue of change in Gujarat but this party has been reduced to ‘MLA Exchange Party’ as most of its MLAs are being poached by other parties.
