The Aam Aadmi Party candidate on Saturday won the bypoll from the Jalandhar Lok Sabha constituency which was considered a Congress stronghold for the past 24 years.
The byelection for Jalandhar Lok Sabha, one of the 13 LS constituencies in Punjab was warranted after sitting MP Santokh Singh Chaudhary of Congress passed away on 14 January this year.
On Wednesday, hours after being expelled from the Congress, Sushil Rinku joined Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the presence of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann.
