Aam Aadmi Party will release its first list of candidates for 2017 Assembly election in Punjab, in May this year.
An announcement in this regard was made today by Lok Sabha MP Bhagwant Mann who claimed the people of the state were so "fed up" with both the Congress and ruling SAD-BJP alliance that they were eagerly looking forward to the election to "throw out" these parties from the state.
The AAP MP alleged that everything in the public sector in Punjab, be it education, transport or the health sector, was on the "verge of collapse."
He also said the state would be witnessing a second "freedom struggle" during the 2017 election.
"AAP will strive to restore Punjab to its old glory and will not attempt to make it another California," he said.
