In a magnificent oath-taking ceremony held in freedom fighter Bhagat Singh’s ancestral town of Khatkar Kalan, Bhagwant Mann was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Punjab today. The event took place less than a week after the AAP won the majority of seats in the Punjab assembly elections.

Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi Chief Minister and National Convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party, also congratulated Bhagwant Mann on his appointment as Punjab’s CM, adding that prosperity will return to the state under Mann’s leadership.

In the recently ended Punjab Assembly elections, the AAP won a resounding victory, capturing 92 seats and driving most of its opponents to the fringes. Congress gained 18 seats in the 117-member Assembly.
