He alleged that Amarinder and Badal have again planned to contest collectively by fielding Ravneet Singh Bittu from Jalalabad and himself from Lambi.

He promised that after the results on March 11, Majithia will be sent behind the bars before March 15.
Kejriwal criticised Badal government for allegedly ignoring the youth of Punjab and taking no step to generate employment in state.
He claimed that if elected the AAP government will provide jobs to 25 lakhs youth in the state.
The AAP leader said that agro based industry will be installed in the rural area and there will be 80 per cent quota of Punjab residents in these jobs.
