Last month, the AAP fielded five Cabinet ministers, a sitting MP, a former Congress MLA and a Punjabi artist in its first list of candidates for 13 seats in the state that is slated to go to the polls on June 1.
Health Minister Balbir Singh (Patiala), Agriculture Minister Gurmeet Singh Khudian (Bathinda), Sports Minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer (Sangrur), NRI Affairs Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal (Amritsar), and Transport Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar (Khadoor Sahib) have been named as the candidates.
Former Congress MLA Gurpreet Singh GP, who recently joined the party, is the candidate from Fatehgarh Sahib, while Punjabi artiste Karamjit Anmol was named as the candidate from Faridkot.
Punjab had recorded a voter turnout of 65.96 per cent in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
