He was accused by everyone of being a heavy drinker despite being overly influential to the public. Some called him a drunkard. He was also accused of having a habit of drinking and talking, even when speaking in public. Realizing that alcohol would bring a bad name to himself and his party, Bhagwant Mann vowed never to drink alcohol again in 2019. Praising his pledge, Arvind Kejriwal described it as the greatest sacrifice made for the people of Punjab.
Bhagwant Mann, the son of a government school teacher, wanted his father to be a teacher. But Mann’s preference was different. Bhagwant Mann, who used to have a habit of laughing and talking comedy and teasing, has become famous for being the Chief Ministerial candidate of Punjab.
He also runs a deer charity for the benefit of children affected by polluted groundwater on the Punjab border. Bhagwant Mann also played a key role in the Aam Aadmi Party’s significant victory in the recent Punjab municipal elections. Bhagwant Mann says he will not compromise on corruption.
Bhagwant Mann divorced his wife and divorced her in 2015. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has emerged as the dominant party in the Punjab Assembly elections with a clear majority. Thus the Aam Aadmi Party rules Punjab as the second state. Bhagwant Mann, who was nominated by the people as the Chief Ministerial candidate before the election, is all set to take over as the new Chief Minister.
