The Punjab Assembly Elections Committee has been announced by the Congress. The coordination committee has been chaired by senior politician Ambika Soni, the campaign committee has been chaired by former Punjab Congress president Sunil Jakhar, and the manifesto committee has been chaired by MP Pratap Singh Bajwa. Ajay Maken has been assigned to the screening committee of the Congress. Its members will be Chandan Yadav and Krishna Alavaru.
Let us remind you that Punjab Congress President Navjot Singh Sidhu met with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi at his home on December 3rd. Rahul Gandhi met with Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, Navjot Sidhu, and Sunil Jakhar on December 1. The creation of election-related committees for Punjab was also discussed with state leaders, according to sources.
Punjab will hold legislative elections early next year. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Akali Dal, BJP, and Amarinder Singh’s new party all appear to be posing a serious challenge to the ruling Congress in this election. After becoming dissatisfied with the Congress, Amarinder Singh recently announced the formation of a new political party. He said today that his party, along with the Punjab Lok Congress, the BJP, and the party of former Akali Dal leader Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa, will form the next administration in the state. Amarinder Singh resigned from the Congress after being dismissed as Chief Minister of Punjab in September.
