Taruni Gandhi, Chandigarh :
AAP launched a number, asks people to leave msgs to choose the party’s CM face in Punjab : Seems uncertain on announcing Bhagwant Mann as CM of Punjab, The Aam Aadmi Party supremo has now left it to the Punjab people to choose their CM for the state. Arvind Kejriwal has categorically ruled himself out as the CM face for the state.
Kejriwal on Thursday announced that he was leaving the choice of the party’s CM face to the people of Punjab. Announcing the launch of a number (70748 70748), Kejriwal said that people of Punjab should call/ message or WhatsApp and give their choice of CM candidate. “We want to leave the choice to the people of Punjab, who can give us their choice by January 17. Following this, the candidate who is chosen by the public, will be the CM face,” he said.
Though Kejriwal said he had himself asked Mann to be the CM face, the latter wanted that the CM face should be chosen by the public and not imposed on them. “I told Bhagwant that I should clear his name, but he gave me this idea that we should not choose the CM face in a closed- door meeting,” he said, adding “My personal choice is not important…public choice is supreme. But I will reiterate that I myself will not be the CM face,” he said.
Mann, while endorsing Kejriwal’s statement said, “I am a loyal party worker and I will perform any duty entrusted to me by the party. I will even paste posters or wave the party symbol (jhadu) if the party so wants. For me it is more important that the CM trusts me,” he said.
On the other hand, Manjinder Singh Sirsa from BJP took a jibe on Kejriwal and called this number a political stunt. AAP launched a number, asks people to leave msgs to choose the party’s CM face in Punjab
