Aam Aadmi Party's incredible show in the Punjab Assembly polls has led to a number of people congratulating AAP and its chief ministerial candidate Bhagwant Mann. Congratulatory messages poured in on social media from people in the film fraternity to Mr Mann's opponents from Congress and Akali Dal.
Mr Mann will take oath as the chief minister in the coming days. He announced that he will take oath at Khatkarkalan in Nawanshahr district, the ancestral village of freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, and not at Raj Bhawan.
“Mubarkan Bhagwant Mann BHAJI,” tweeted singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh, and shared an image of the AAP leader.

I accept the verdict of the people with all humility. Democracy has triumphed. Punjabis have shown true spirit of Punjabiyat by rising and voting above sectarian and caste lines.
