Amritsar: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national president and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said Punjab needs an honest CM. "AAP's CM candidate in Punjab, Bhagwant Mann, is very honest, he is a person who has not taken even 25 paise from anyone to date. Punjab is due to go to the polls next month and the AAP is one of the major challenges for the ruling Congress regime.''

AAP has nominated Bhagwant Mann as its CM post candidate. Addressing a town hall in Phillaur town of the border state of Punjab, CM Kejriwal said, "Across Punjab, AAP has fielded honest candidates so that an honest state government is formed. Our CM candidate did not take even 25 paise from anyone, Mann is very honest.''

Attacking leaders of other parties, including the ruling Congress and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), Kejriwal said Mann has been an MP for seven years but still lives in a rented house. "When a person becomes an MLA in Punjab, he can acquire big cars and houses. But Mann has been an MP for seven years and still lives in a rented house.''
