Punjab Polls

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan have called for peaceful protests tonight against the outcomes of the Chief Minister (CM) Hamza Shahbaz's 'surprising' victory in Punjab.

Several attempts were made to attack Sidhu Moose Wala during the Punjab assembly elections in April, said Balkaur Singh, father of the Punjabi singer-politician.

Polling was by and large peaceful in the bypolls for three Lok Sabha and seven assembly seats spread across five states and Delhi on Thursday barring an incident of stabbing of a policeman in Tripura, where polling was the highest at 76.62 per cent.

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday fielded former Congress leader Kewal Singh Dhillon as its candidate for Lok Sabha by-elections in Punjab's Sangrur.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will play a big role in the politics of Punjab and will emerge as the largest party in the state in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

After poll strategist Prashant Kishor hinted at making a fresh beginning from his home state Bihar, former Punjab Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu sent his best wishes on his new endeavour, saying a "good beginning always makes a good ending".

The Congress on Friday appointed five new vice presidents, a treasurer and a general secretary in the Punjab unit of the party.

Expanding its footprint at the national level after the party's massive victory in the Punjab Assembly elections, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has set its sights on the northeast.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday dissolved its all units in Rajasthan to restructure the party organisation to prepare for the state assembly polls.

Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu today took on AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal over his party's five nominees for the Rajya Sabha polls, saying except for former cricketer Harbhajan Singh, the rest of the nominations are a "betrayal of Punjab".

Riding high on its stupendous victory in Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party on Monday took the first step towards its nationwide expansion and appointed new office-bearers for nine states including those going to assembly polls this year and in 2023.

At a high-ranking Congress meeting earlier this month, Congress President Sonia Gandhi took full responsibility for the party's debacle in the Punjab elections, said a Congress official present at the meeting.

Seven of the 11 newly sworn-in ministers in Punjab have declared criminal cases against themselves, with four of them facing serious charges, poll rights group Association for Democratic Reforms said on Monday.

Two-time Aam Aadmi Party MLA Kultar Singh Sandwan was on Monday unanimously elected as Speaker of the 16th Punjab Legislative Assembly.
