Chandigarh, Mar 9 (UNI) Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Monday launched a scathing attack on the Congress and the Akali Dal-BJP alliance, asserting that the people of Punjab are ready to use the ‘jhaadu’ (broom) once again to sweep away parties that practised "political exploitation" for decades.

He noted that Punjab has surpassed Kerala to rank first in the National Achievement Survey and mentioned that hundreds of students from government 'Schools of Eminence' are now qualifying for competitive exams like JEE and NEET.
