Acting on the instructions of AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi unit president Saurabh Bharadwaj on Wednesday morning left for flood-ravaged Punjab with the first consignment of relief material, marking the beginning of AAP’s aid dispatch from Delhi to the disaster-hit state. AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal announced that Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj is reaching Punjab with flood relief material. “Every day, AAP leaders, MLAs, MPs, and common citizens from Delhi will carry trucks of relief supplies to Punjab and serve the affected people. Many RWAs and traders are also extending their support at their own level in this tragedy. People from across the country are coming forward to help Punjab. Today, the entire nation stands with Punjab,” he affirmed.

Meanwhile, senior AAP leader and Punjab Prabhari Manish Sisodia wrote on X: “AAP leaders and volunteers are wholeheartedly stepping forward to help their brothers and sisters affected by floods in Punjab. Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj is reaching Punjab today with relief material.” Before leaving Delhi for Punjab with the relief material on Wednesday morning, AAP Delhi unit chief Saurabh Bharadwaj told the media that Punjab has been struck by a devastating flood, which has caused massive destruction of crops, livestock, property, and livelihoods. “The AAP government in Punjab, its ministers and MLAs, and people from all sections, including leaders of different parties, are engaged in relief efforts,” he noted.
Kejriwal invokes Punjab’s spirit of service
Recalling Arvind Kejriwal’s message on Tuesday, he added, “Everyone should serve in whichever way they can. Because whenever India or even the world has faced calamities — be it floods, earthquakes, or wars between nations — it is always our Punjabi and Sikh brothers who are the first to start langars. The service of gurdwaras reaches places even before the media can.”
