Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann expressed with firm confidence on Saturday that the AAP would be a part of the government that is slated to be formed at the Centre on June 4. He boldly predicted that the BJP would not be able to surpass 400 seats in the Lok Sabha elections as opposed to its public pitch. He remarked that he had predicted CM Kejriwal's release from Tihar Jail and went on to say "AAP is going to be a part of Centre on June 4, you will have a share in the government."
Addressing the gathering a day after Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's release on interim bail hailed him as the "dictatorship's nemesis". "I had said it everywhere, Kejriwal is not a person but a thought. You can arrest a person but not a thought. Dictatorship's nemesis is Kejriwal," he said, as quoted by news agency PTI.
Mann thanked the "revolutionary people of Delhi who stood with the party in difficult times". "The people want to hear what Kejriwal will say about the condition and direction of the country's politics," he also said.

Mann praised Delhi residents for their unwavering support of his party during the crisis. "Your company does not let us feel tired. You people are organic," he added.
He stated that there is a need to "work hard" since there are only 20 days left for the elections. "We have to work hard. There are only 20 days left for polls. We have worked for 18 hours as against 12 hours. The first three rounds of polls have revealed 400 par is not possible for Modi ji," Mann further added, as per PTI.

"You cannot win the elections by arresting the opposition leaders and sending the ED, and CBI after them," he charged.
Mann compared Kejriwal to a "retired hurt" cricket player who would hit "sixes and fours with the same fervour". "He was only retired hurt and not out. He has come back for batting. The bat is the same, the pitch is the same. He will hit the same sixes and fours," he outlined.
Mann expressed his confidence in the outcome there, saying, "BJP and Congress will be wiped out in Punjab and all 13 seats will go to AAP." The AAP is fighting the polls by itself in Punjab.
After Mann, Kejriwal also lashed out at the BJP amidst his address to the party workers. During Mann's speech, shouts endorsing Kejriwal and the AAP were heard.
