Within a week after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's AAP scripted a resounding victory in Punjab, comedian-turned politician Bhagwant Mann took oath as the new Chief Minister of the state at Indian revolutionary Bhagat Singh's village in the Nawanshahr district on Wednesday.
Wearing a yellow turban, Mann was sworn in by Governor Banwarilal Purohit on the same dais where Kejriwal, his deputy in Delhi, Manish Sisodia and other top AAP leaders were present.
The AAP, which had projected Mann as its Chief Ministerial candidate before the polls, on Mar 10 showed Congress the door winning a massive 92 of 117 seats while the grand old party faced another nightmare in contemporary politics.
