Hitting out at the ruling Akali for "destroying" Punjab, known as golden state, he said AAP will form the next government in the state with a thumping majority and corrupt politicians will be put in jail immediately.
Ministers Bikram Majithia, Tota Singh and Sikander Singh Maluka will be the first to go to jail, Mann, who is the Chairman of AAP's election campaign committee, said.
Lashing out at Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, he said the Badals have looted the state and were responsible for the present state of Punjab.
"The AAP government will arrest those responsible for desecration incidents and exemplary punishments will be given," he said.
"The people are always superior in democracy and they know how to correct the incorrect with the power of vote," he said.
Mann also accused SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal of "living in fool's paradise and being away from the reality of life".
"Sukhbir talks of running buses in water, holding rally on Mars but the need of the hour is to provide employment to the youth in state. A comprehensive plan is also needed to tackle drug problem in state," he said.
He added that it was because of Congress' weak opposition that the Akalis were able to destroy the state.
The Punjab Assembly polls are slated to begin from February 4.
