AAP MLAs from Samana and Sanour announce resignation from party
Following their omission from the candidate list, Chetan Singh Jouramajra and Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra have quit the Aam Aadmi Party.
Two members of the Punjab Legislative Assembly have severed ties with the Aam Aadmi Party. This step has been taken by Chetan Singh Jouramajra, leader representing the Samana constituency, and Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra, MLA from the Sanour constituency.
This decision came to the fore following the list of 40 candidates announced by the party yesterday, in which both these leaders failed to secure their places.
Along with deciding the candidates, the party high command had also handed over the leadership of both constituencies to new faces.
Surjit Singh Rakhra, who had bid farewell to the Shiromani Akali Dal and joined AAP, has been appointed as the new constituency in-charge of Samana.
Along with this, the responsibility of the Sanour assembly constituency has been assigned to Ranjodh Singh Hadana.
