In a decisive move ahead of the by-election for Jalandhar West, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann declared on Saturday that he will rent a residence in Jalandhar for AAP's campaign. The election, prompted by MLA Sheetal Angural's switch to BJP, was scheduled for July 10.

Addressing the state-level function in Hoshiarpur commemorating Sant Kabir Das, Mann vowed to lead the campaign and secure a convincing win for AAP's candidate, Mohinder Bhagat. 'I will elaborate on our achievements and the tasks ahead, seeking public support for further development,' he stated.

Mann further assured that the rented house would serve as an office post-election to address public grievances efficiently. AAP commenced its campaign by releasing a manifesto featuring promises like tackling drug mafia, clean water, improved healthcare, and enhanced public safety.

Punjab Cabinet Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal and AAP MP Malvinder Singh Kang expressed the party's commitment to fighting on the basis of their work, framing the by-election as a battle between 'honest people' and 'corrupt elements' while expressing confidence in the public's support against the defector Angural.
