Welcoming Garhi, CM Bhagwant Mann said, “The Aam Aadmi Party is dedicated to carrying forward the ideals of Baba Saheb Ambedkar and Kanshi Ram Ji. Together, we will ensure justice, equality, and opportunities for every section of society.”
Briefing the press about his political move, Jasvir Singh Garhi reflected on his political journey and the circumstances leading to his decision to join AAP. “For the past two months, I remained silent about the decision taken by my previous party.
I hoped they would introspect and correct their mistakes. Instead, I felt betrayed, as though my political assassination was carried out, similar to the sidelining of many leaders who stood with Kanshi Ram Ji,” he said.
Highlighting AAP’s commitment to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Kanshi Ram’s ideology, Garhi credited MLA Dr. Sukhwinder Kumar Sukhi for showing him the path. “Dr. Sukhi showed us that only the Aam Aadmi Party can truly carry forward the legacy of Ambedkar into every household.
Under Arvind Kejriwal Ji’s leadership, AAP printed calendars featuring Ambedkar Ji’s image and distributed them to homes in Delhi. In Punjab, 50,000 government offices now display Dr Ambedkar’s photo,” he said.
