Mann says visits to CM’s house helped him
Talking about his manifestation secret, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann shared a glimpse into his political journey. He said that years before he became the CM, he used to circle the official residence of the then CM whenever in Chandigarh. While outlining new initiatives in state’s education sector, Mann said self-belief and ‘firm resolve’ were central to personal and professional success. He said sometimes he would also talk to the then CM’s security personnel. “I would tell them to keep the house neat and clean… I will soon come be on the CM’s chair. It ultimately came true. Self-confidence is crucial, but it should not be arrogance,” he said.
