Bhagwant Mann will be sworn in as Punjab Chief Minister shortly at Khatkar Kalan — the ancestral village of legendary freedom fighter Bhagat Singh in Shaheed Bhagat Singh (SBS) Nagar district. Officials said that they are expecting over 3 lakh people to attend the ceremony.
Mann, the Chief Minister-designate, had invited the people of the state to attend his oath-taking ceremony, saying it’s not he alone, but 3 crore people of Punjab will also take an oath with him.
Meanwhile, days after losing in the recently concluded Assembly elections, Navjot Singh Sidhu has today tendered his resignation as the President of Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee
“As desired by the Congress President I have sent my resignation,” he said after Sonia Gandhi asked the state unit chiefs of Punjab, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Goa and Manipur to resign from their posts.
