He said that the AAP government gave 43,000 government jobs that too on merit basis and regularised 13,000 temporary teachers. We are giving 600 units of free electricity per bill since the formation of our government. More than 90% of households in Punjab are getting zero electricity bills. We are giving adequate electricity to farmers and industry. We increased revenue of the state. In excise alone we increased revenue from 6,000 crore to 10,000 crore in a year.
Meet Hayer further said that the people of Punjab are ready to reward the good performance of the Aam Aadmi Party government. The people of Sangrur, as well as the whole Punjab, are with Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann. We do not have any personal quarrel with anyone, our fight is based on the issues of the people.

Meet Hayer added that we feel that we do not even need to campaign, people are campaigning for us themselves, every child of the country knows how Arvind Kejriwal is fighting against corruption and dictatorship. The BJP is getting exposed and everyone is aware of their dirty politics. He added that this is not the first dark phase of our democracy. People have fought against dictatorial politicians before and defeated them. This time too, to save our democracy and constitution, the people will vote the BJP out of power.
Addressing the media, Harpal Cheema said that we do the politics of work. So in this LS election we will ask the people of Punjab to vote for us based on our work. He said that the Mann government fulfilled four out of five major election guarantees in Punjab, whereas traditional parties' governments do not even start work until the next election is around the corner.
Responding to a query, Cheema said that the people of Punjab are well aware of the discrimination that the BJP does against our state, they are refusing to release our funds and they are brought anti-farmers bills and are responsible of deaths of more than 750 farmers. He said that every Punjabi remembers the treatment our farmers got when they went to demand their rights from the centre. He said that the people of Punjab will never vote for the BJP.
