We will have an honest cabinet,” Mann was quoted as saying by ANI.

Bhagwant Mann said that he will take all efforts to provide his service at people’s home. He said, “We will make efforts to provide all facilities to the people from the comfort of their homes. We went to seek votes door-to-door, even in the fields of the farmers. But after we win, we tell them to visit Chandigarh to get their work done. I want the least number of people to visit Chandigarh to get their work done.”
