In his speech today, Bhagwant Mann announced that his oath-taking ceremony will not take place at Raj Bhawan but at the ancestral village of freedom fighter Bhagat Singh which is Khatkarkalan in Nawanshahr district. He also announced that all the government offices will not have CM's photo but that of Bhagat Singh and BR Ambedkar.
The Aam Aadmi Party has closed a clean sweep in Punjab with a lead in 91 of the 117 assembly seats after the first six hours of counting of votes on Thursday.
