Kapurthala

candidate

Rana Gurjit Singh

for “backstabbing” the party by fielding his son as an independent candidate from Sultanpur Lodhi assembly constituency. Congress has fielded sitting MLA Navtej Singh Cheema from the constituency.

Sitting MLAs Cheema, Avtar Singh Jr.Bawa Henry, Balwinder Singh Dhaliwal, besides ex-MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira have stated in the letter: “Rana Gurjit Singh, who resigned as a minister in 2018 for his alleged involvement in a sand mining scam... is now trying his best to destroy the winnability of the Congress.”

They added, “Rana Gurjit Singh is weakening the Congress by deliberately interfering in various constituencies of Doaba region such as Sultanpur Lodhi, Phagwara, Bholath, Jalandhar North, Banga etc. Though we are apprising the state leadership about his anti-party activities, unfortunately he was reinstated in the Punjab cabinet, instead of action being taken against him.”
