The ruling Aam Aadmi Par ty (AAP) in Punjab on Tuesday named two more of its candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
In this list AAP Punjab chief spokesperson Malvinder Singh Kang has been given the ticket from Anandpur Sahib and Dr Raj Kumar Chabbewal from Hoshiarpur, a reserved seat. Chabbewal had recently left Congress to join the AAP.
With this, the AAP has announced its candidates for 10 seats, though one of its candi- dates, Sushil Kumar Rinku, who was to con- test from Jalandhar had a few days ago hopped over BJP. to Now, besides the Jalandhar seat, it has also yet to name its candidates for Ludhiana, Ferozepur and Gurdaspur seats.
It may be recalled that Chabbewal, a two- time MLA and a prominent Dalit leader from Hoshiarpur, who was deputy CLP leader in the state assembly, had joined AAP only a few days ago.
