He said the party, which grew out of the anti-corruption movement, has remained committed to bringing constitutional rights to every citizen.
“With the objective of reaching the vision and rights of the country's constitution to every citizen, the Aam Aadmi Party… has not only provided the common people with rights such as free education, free electricity, and free health facilities, but has also made them aware of their rights, ” Mann noted.
Praising Kejriwal’s leadership, the Punjab Chief Minister added, “Even today, under the leadership of @ArvindKejriwal ji, the Aam Aadmi Party is moving forward with full dedication and zeal towards public service and will continue to progress in the same manner in the future.”
