Mann’s Emotional Appeal in Tarn Taran Turns Election Into Battle for People’s Future and Dignity

Punjab: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann addressed thousands in Tarn Taran just days before the by-election. Instead of political slogans, he spoke about emotions and shared struggles. He said he was not just a CM but a partner in people’s joys and pains. He reminded people that he came from ordinary villages, studied in government schools, and faced the same difficulties as any common person.

He said politics should not be about chairs or titles but about service. His statement created a calm but powerful connection with the crowd. The people responded with loud voices of support and confidence.

Recalling His Roots in Villages

Mann shared how he once rode a bicycle for school and sat on bus rooftops for college because there was no space inside. By sharing these experiences, he showed that he understands real life struggles, not just political theory. He told farmers that he knows the pain of crops destroyed in fields. He told workers that he respects every drop of sweat spent earning daily wages. Mann said this region has faced hardships before, but now the government is trying to rebuild trust. He urged everyone to move forward together with patience. The crowd listened silently and respectfully.

Delivery of Relief During Floods

Mann reminded the gathering that during the recent floods, the government acted with speed and responsibility. Compensation of ₹20,000 per acre was provided within just 45 days. Relief reached homes before Diwali so that no family would feel abandoned. He said the government did not wait for paperwork to finish, they worked first and documented later. He spoke proudly of how officials went to every village to check damage personally. His message was that real service means standing with people during storms, not just speeches. Many villagers nodded in agreement hearing this.

Free Electricity as a Major Support

Mann said that 90 percent of Punjab households now receive zero electricity bills. By offering 300 units free every month, families get relief in their monthly spending. He said this money helps families buy food, medicines and school items. He added that power subsidy is not charity but returning citizens’ own rights. He said earlier governments only gave promises while his government provided practical help. This claim brought applause from the crowd. People felt that benefits were reaching homes directly. Mann said real development means savings in every household.

Jobs and Education Reforms Highlighted

The Chief Minister said that 56,000 youths have received government jobs without bribes or recommendations. He stated that recruitment is now transparent and fair. He highlighted improvements in government schools and the opening of Aam Aadmi Clinics for free treatment. These changes, he said, were not done for votes but for dignity. He mentioned that drug mafia networks were broken and strong action was taken. Farmers are receiving MSP and support schemes helping them stabilize income. Mann said this progress is visible in everyday life now.

Criticism of Old Political Parties

Mann criticized old parties, accusing them of providing corruption, unemployment and drug problems for decades. He said these parties treated Punjab as property to be looted. Their rule, he said, weakened the state and hurt millions of families. Mann claimed that his government brought honesty as a culture, not just a slogan. He said if old parties return, Punjab may fall back into darkness. The crowd responded by shouting slogans supporting change. Mann said now people know the difference between empty talks and visible work.

Election as Future Decision Point

Mann told the crowd that November 11 is not just an election but a decision for the next generation. He said this vote will decide whether people choose a leader who shares their pain or one who only wants power. He said this victory will work for children’s future and village progress. Mann appealed to voters to think about their families, not political drama. The roadshow ended with thousands raising slogans of support. He said he will continue to stand with the people as their partner, not as their ruler.
