Kanwar Inder Singh/ April 6,2023

Aam admi party (AAP) has announced Sushil Kumar Rinku, a turncoat leader as its candidate for Jalandhar by-poll elections.

Former Congress MLA and a prominent Ravidassia leader Rinku, had joined AAP yesterday at Jalandhar in the presence of AAP party supremo Arvind Kejriwal and chief minister Bhagwant Mann.

The Congress had already announced Karamjit Kaur Chaudhary, wife of former MP Santokh Singh Chaudhary, as its party candidate for Jalandhar by-poll elections, in March 2023.

As of now, BJP has also not finalized any candidate’s name tough the saffron party has recently inducted Rajindra Singh, a three-time President’s Medal awardee and former DCP of Jalandhar, into the party and may announce him as its party candidate.
