Arvind Kejriwal hails Punjab's achievements in Education, Healthcare, and Jobs

Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann highlight Punjab's progress in jobs, roads, and healthcare, citing AAP's sweeping victory in local elections as public approval.

"Children of farmers and labourers from 58,000 villages have received government jobs... without recommendations or bribes... - Arvind Kejriwal"

Mohali, December 18

AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal, on Thursday, in a joint press conference with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, highlighted the state's achievements and growth, further outlining that the Aam Aadmi Party won approximately 70 per cent of the seats in the district council and block committee elections held in Punjab.

"The results of Block Samiti and Zilla Parishad elections indicate that Aam Aadmi Party has swept the elections with around 70% seats. This is a huge thing..." he said.

Kejriwal stated that these elections were held before the upcoming assembly elections in Punjab, and the results showcase that the people have been happy with the work of the Aam Aadmi Party.

He further stressed that the elections were completely fair. The AAP convener underlined that at least 580 seats had a victory margin of only 100 votes. The opposition won 319 seats, which demonstrates that there was absolutely no rigging in these elections.

Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann added, "Wherever our candidates have lost by a small margin in Punjab, they will introspect, analyse their mistakes, reach out to people, and connect with them..."

Furthermore, Kejriwal noted that the state has witnessed major developments in various projects, including roadways and job opportunities, underlining the construction of 19,000 rural roads. He also stated that 58,000 youngsters recieved government jobs without any recommendations or bribes.

"A total of 43,000 km of roads are being built, including 19,000 km of rural roads, and the quality of the roads is remarkable. For the first time, a 5-year guarantee clause has been included, which has never been done before. People are very happy with these roads. Children of farmers and labourers from 58,000 villages have received government jobs... Previously, no one could even imagine that one could get a government job in Punjab without recommendations or bribes..." he said.

Speaking on the education and healthcare sector, the AAP convener highlighted the success of Mohalla clinics and the Rs. 10 lakh insurance policy to be provided to every family from next month.

"In the education sector, there have been tremendous changes in schools. 1000 neighbourhood clinics are operating in every corner of Punjab. There has been a significant improvement in treatment at government hospitals. From January, a Rs. 10 lakh insurance policy will be provided to every family," he added.

Promises vs. reality. They talk about 58,000 jobs, but what is the quality? Are these permanent positions or contract-based? And 1000 Mohalla clinics is good, but are they properly staffed and stocked? We need details, not just headlines.

The 5-year guarantee on roads is a game-changer! In my village in Patiala, the new road has actually lasted through the monsoon. Earlier, contractors would do shoddy work and disappear. This accountability is what Punjab needed.

Interesting to see the focus on rural infrastructure and healthcare. The Rs. 10 lakh insurance policy could be a massive relief for middle-class families facing medical emergencies. Hope the implementation is smooth.

Winning 70% seats in local body elections is no small feat. It shows ground-level support. But the real test is sustaining this development work and not getting complacent. Bhagwant Mann's comment about introspecting on narrow losses is a good sign.

As a teacher, I've seen the changes in government schools firsthand. Better facilities and attention. If they can truly revolutionise education and healthcare, they will have my vote forever. These are the pillars of a strong society.
