Former Congress MLA Sushil Rinku has got a big gift for joining AAP. A day after joining the ruling AAP, the party has declared Sushil as its candidate for the upcoming Jalandhar Lok Sabha bypoll.
Jalandhar parliamentary seat will be voted on May 10 and the results will be declared on May 13. This seat had become vacant after the death of Congress MP Santokh Singh Chaudhary. Congress has given ticket to late Santokh Chowdhary’s wife Karamjit Kaur for the by-election. The Congress is hopeful that the party can get sympathy votes from here.
Rinku joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday in the presence of AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. In a tweet on Thursday, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann informed about Sushil Rinku being made AAP’s candidate for the Jalandhar bypoll.
Who is Sushil Rinku?
Sushil Rinku was Congress MLA from Jalandhar West. In the 2022 assembly elections, he was defeated by AAP’s Sheetal Angural by a margin of 4,200 votes. The Congress had expelled Rinku from the party on Wednesday due to allegations of her involvement in anti-party activities.
Congress leader Santokh Singh Chaudhary was the MP from this seat. The seat has been vacant since he died of a heart attack at the age of 76 while attending Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra in January.
