AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday launched 400 more 'Aam Aadmi' clinics in the state, calling the event here the fulfillment of another 'Kejriwal ki guarantee'.
The 400 new 'Aam Aadmi' clinics take the total number of these neighbourhood health centres in the state to 500.
Mr. Kejriwal, the AAP convenor and Delhi chief minister, said he was happy to note that the Punjab government opened 500 mohalla clinics in just 10 months.
"I am happy to say that Bhagwant Mann has fulfilled one more 'Kejriwal ki guarantee (Kejriwal's guarantee)'," the AAP chief said while referring to the party's promises made to the people of Punjab in the run up to the 2022 assembly elections.
Five hundred mohalla clinics have been set up in Punjab and, in the time to come, more such facilities will come up, Mr. Kejriwal said.
Punjab Health Minister Balbir Singh and AAP MP Raghav Chadha were also present at the event.
Mr. Kejriwal said all the party's "guarantees" would be fulfilled and asked the people of Punjab to "have patience" as he targeted the previous dispensations for "destroying" the system.
