Chandigarh, May 13
The Aam Aadmi Party on Saturday regained its representation in the Lok Sabha, with party candidate Sushil Kumar Rinku getting an impressive win.
It has been a major setback for the Congress, with which the seat remained since 1999. It had fielded Santokh Chaudhary’s widow Karamjit Kaur as the candidate.
In June 2022, AAP had witnessed a major setback when SAD (Amritsar)’s Simranjit Singh Mann won the Sangrur Lok Sabha seat after defeating his nearest rival, AAP’s Gurmail Singh, by a slender margin.
The Sangrur constituency was once a stronghold of AAP. Bhagwant Mann had represented this seat twice — in 2014 and 2019.
