A day after Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal held a mega roadshow in Amritsar to celebrate the party's landslide victory in the Punjab Assembly elections, Punjab chief minister-elect Bhagwant Mann will tender his resignation as the Member of Parliament on Monday.
Mann will take oath as the chief minister of Punjab on March 16 at Khatkar Kalan, the ancestral village of iconic freedom fighter Bhagat Singh.
Earlier on Saturday, the 48-year-old staked claim to form the government in Punjab after meeting Governor Banwarilal Purohit.
Mann after the meeting told media persons outside the Raj Bhawan in Chandigarh that he handed over a letter of support of his party MLAs to the Governor who accepted it.
“We staked claim to form the government and the Governor Sahib approved it,” he said, PTI reported.
In Covid related news, Former US President Barack Obama announced Sunday that he has tested positive for Covid-19.
China's government responded Sunday to a spike in coronavirus infections by shutting down its southern business center of Shenzhen, a city of 17.5 million people, and restricted access to Shanghai by suspending bus service.
Everyone in Shenzhen, a finance and technology center that abuts Hong Kong, will undergo three rounds of testing after 60 new cases were reported Sunday. All businesses except those that supply food, fuel and other necessities were ordered to close or work from home.
Case numbers in China's latest infection surge are low compared with other countries and with Hong Kong, which reported more than 32,000 on Sunday. But mainland authorities are enforcing a “zero tolerance” strategy and have locked down entire cities to find and isolate every infected person.
Shenzhen is home to some of China's most prominent companies, including telecom equipment maker Huawei Technologies Ltd., electric car brand BYD Auto, Ping An Insurance Co. and Tencent Holding, operator of the popular WeChat message service.
On the mainland, the government reported 1,938 new cases, more than triple Saturday's total.
