The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday announced names of 30 candidates in their second list for next year’s Punjab Assembly election.
AAP had earlier announced 10 candidates in their first list on November 12, which included sitting MLAs from the party.
Former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, who was a member of the Special Investigating Team (SIT) probing the 2015 Kotkapura-and Behbal Kalan police firing incidents is among the candidates in Friday’s list. He would be contesting from Amritsar North seat. Mr. Singh had in April this year taken premature retirement after the Punjab and Haryana High Court quashed a report by the SIT of Punjab Police into the firing incident.
