Aam Aadmi Party on Monday named Chancellor of Lovely Professional University, Ashok Kumar Mittal as nominee to Rajya Sabha.
Earlier the party has named Sandeep Pathak, an assistant professor at IIT-Delhi, who is a key strategist for AAP for years and laid the groundwork for its stupendous recent victory in Punjab. A PhD from Cambridge University, Pathak is well known as a backroom boy in Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s team. Kejriwal today thanked Pathak for the Punjab win and hailed his contribution as a political strategist and campaign designer.
The vacancies in Punjab arose as the term of the sitting MPs ends on April 9.
