Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal announced a new campaign against gangsters in Punjab, modeled after the state's 'War Against Drugs' initiative. Speaking to newly elected local body members alongside Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Kejriwal highlighted AAP's significant victory in recent Panchayat polls, which he described as the cleanest in Punjab's history. He contrasted this with past elections, alleging they were marred by intimidation and manipulation by traditional parties. Mann also addressed his upcoming appearance before the Akal Takht.
