He praised Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, his ministers, and thousands of party workers for their relentless efforts, emphasizing the community-driven spirit of Punjabis aiding one another.

Kejriwal, in a video message, lauded Punjab's historic role as India's shield against invasions and its pivotal contributions from the freedom struggle to agricultural self-sufficiency. Declaring this flood as a calamity unseen in decades, he summoned all political entities to transcend differences and extend whole-hearted aid to the province.

Emphasizing the disaster's magnitude, Kejriwal described the widespread destruction and the challenge of reaching affected areas. He projected confidence that the nation would unite for Punjab, reinforcing AAP's commitment by pledging member salaries to relief efforts.

In closing, Kejriwal extended a prayer to Waheguru, reinforcing the spiritual resilience of the Punjabi community amid these trials.
