Jagmeet Brar files nomination as independent candidate from Gidderbaha

Chandigarh: Veteran politician Jagmeet Singh Brar, who launched his political journey in 1980 contesting against Parkash Singh Badal from the Gidderbaha constituency, has filed his nomination papers to contest again from the same constituency, this time as an independent candidate.

Brar was joined by Raghbir Singh Pradhan, former MLA Ripjit Singh Brar, and Harphool Singh Nambardar Hari Kekalan Horin during the nomination process.

Brar, who served as a Member of Parliament twice, in 1992 and 1999, spent 35 years with the Congress party before shifting to the All India Trinamool Congress, where he served as state president due to differences with Congress leadership.

In 2021, he contested as an Akali candidate from Maur Mandi and is now returning to Gidderbaha as an independent candidate.
