CHANDIGARH: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will organize a Shukrana Yatra from Patiala to Amritsar on November 26 to celebrate the appointment of Aman Arora as the new state president and Amansher Singh, alias Sherry Kalsi, as the working president of the party. The yatra also marks the party's significant victories in three by-election seats.
AAP leader and Punjab cabinet minister Tarunpreet Singh Sondh announced that the Yatra would begin at the famous Kali Mata Temple in Patiala. It will proceed through several significant locations, including the Golden Temple, Durgiana Temple, and Ram Teerth Temple in Amritsar.
Sondh detailed the route, stating that the Yatra would start from Kali Mata Temple in Patiala and pass through Sirhind, Mandi Gobindgarh, Khanna, Doraha, Ludhiana, Ladowal Toll Plaza, Phillaur, Jalandhar, and Kartarpur Sahib before reaching Sachkhand Sri Darbar Sahib (Golden Temple). After offering prayers there, the Yatra will proceed to the Durgiana Temple and then visit the Valmiki Ram Teerth Temple before concluding its journey.
He highlighted that the decision to hold this Yatra was inspired by the overwhelming enthusiasm of party workers and leaders following the recent by-election victories. "The people of Punjab have once again shown their trust in the Aam Aadmi Party, and we are grateful for their support," Sondh stated.
He further emphasised that the mandate reflects public approval of the AAP government's work in Punjab over the past two and a half years. "This victory is significant and encouraging for us. Meanwhile, those who were arrogant, believing they could never lose, have been taught a lesson. The people have shown that even individuals from ordinary households can rise to hold positions of power and become MLAs."
Sondh appealed to the people of Punjab to participate in the Shukrana Yatra in large numbers and make it a resounding success.
