										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, Punjab&#8217;s new Chief Minister, Bhagwant Mann of the Aam Aadmi Party, announced the commencement of an anti-corruption hotline. The hotline number will be introduced on March 23, the death anniversary of independence warrior Bhagat Singh, according to Mr. Mann, who took his oath yesterday, saying that he would not &#8220;waste a day.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;My personal phone number will be used for the anti-corruption hotline&#8230; Send audio and video to that number if someone asks for a bribe,&#8221; he stated. The phone number will only be used by persons who want to submit films of corrupt authorities seeking bribes for their daily job or engaging in other illegal activities. He then stated that such officials will face severe punishment.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Wednesday, Bhagwant Mann was ushered in as Punjab&#8217;s Chief Minister. Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit administered the oath of office and secrecy to him. The oath-taking event has been held at Bhagat Singh&#8217;s village, Khatkar Kalan. The swearing-in event was attended by all Delhi AAP leaders, especially Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The Aam Aadmi Party has won the Punjab Assembly elections by a landslide.</p>
<p>AAP holds 92 seats in Punjab&#8217;s 117-seat legislature. Simultaneously, Congress won 18 seats, the Akali Dal three, and the BJP two. This time, the AAP ran on Bhagwant Mann&#8217;s behalf in the election. He was also a two-time Member of Parliament from Sangrur.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party is ahead in the majority of the seats, with chief ministerial contender Bhagwant Mann dominating while current CM Charanjit Singh Channi trails in both of his seats. Navjot Singh Sidhu, a Congress politician who is losing his position, complimented the AAP on its win and said he recognizes the citizens&#8217; choices. According to the latest counts, several experienced leaders such as Amarinder Singh, Prakash Singh Badal, and Sukhbir Singh Badal are on the verge of loss.</p>
<p>Delhi CM and AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal tweeted, stating the lead, &#8220;Iss Inquilab ke liye Punjab ke logon ko bahut bahut badhai (congratulations to the people of Punjab for this revolution).&#8221;</p>
