BHAGWANT MANN AND "RANG DE BASANTI" AT BHAGAT SINGH'S VILLAGE


The village of independence fighter Bhagat Singh was drenched in the colour "Basanti (yellow)" this morning for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Bhagwant Mann's oath ceremony as Punjab Chief Minister.

Yellow turbans, which have become synonymous with comedian-turned-politician Bhagwant Mann, flooded the village of Khatkar Kalan in response to his request that residents wear "Basanti turbans and dupattas" to his swearing. The colour yellow was used throughout the venue and decor.

Bhagat Singh was known for wearing red turbans, which came to symbolise revolution.

In a video message inviting the people of Punjab to his swearing-in, Bhagwant Mann remarked, "We will colour Khatar Kalan in 'Basanti rang."

Mr Mann, 48, will become the state's youngest Chief Minister since the 1970s.

Mr Mann, whose AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal refers to as "his younger brother."

In Punjab, the AAP secured a huge victory, taking 92 of the 117 seats in the Punjab Assembly and decimating the ruling Congress. In the Dhuri assembly constituency in Sangrur district, Mr Mann received approximately 60,000 votes.

Mr Mann stated that three crore people would join him in taking the oath.

"Not only will Bhagwant Mann take the oath and become Chief Minister at Bhagat Singh's Khatkar Kalan on March 16, but so will all three crore people of Punjab. We shall make Shaheed Bhagat Singh's Rangla Punjab together "In a video message, Mr Mann stated.

Raghav Chaddha, the leader of the AAP, was one of the first to post a photo of himself sporting a yellow turban.

Mr Mann announced his resignation as a Lok Sabha Member of Parliament yesterday.

He told reporters that he was confident in his new role as Punjab's governor. "We understand how to run a government. For the past seven years, I've been a member of the Lok Sabha. Our government in Delhi has been re-elected by the people. We've done it before "he stated

"Many established politicians have lost elections, while newcomers have triumphed. I am confident that fresh ideas will emerge in the state. This administration will employ unconventional thinking "Added he.

Top Congress leaders lost the election in Punjab, including outgoing Chairman Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu, and previous Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.

Over three lakh people are expected to attend the inauguration. Security has been meticulously planned, with approximately 10,000 security personnel stationed in the village.

Because of the massive snowstorm, the district's schools are closed today.
