"All promises made to people in the six manifestos released for different categories are an agreement with the people of Punjab and the AAP will fulfil each and every promise," Sanjay Singh, AAP National General Secretary and in charge of then party's affairs in Punjab, told the media here.
 
Singh declared that the post of Deputy Chief Minister will be occupied by a Dalit legislator.
 
"Welfare of Dalits, BPL (below poverty line) families, employees, farmers and women would be top on the agenda of AAP government," he said.
 
The AAP leaders announced that mafia control over transport, liquor and sand mining will be demolished and these areas will be opened to general public.
