Former Congress MP to join SAD in Punjab, likely to contest from Jalandhar

Chandigarh: Senior Congress leader Mahinder Singh KP from Jalandhar in Punjab is likely to join the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Monday. Former CM and Jalandhar Lok Sabha candidate Charanjit Singh Channi reached his house late at night to convince KP but all went into vain.

Today, KP can join SAD and he can also be SAD’s Lok Sabha candidate from Jalandhar or Hoshiarpur. Two days ago, SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal had come to a local hotel in Jalandhar to hold a meeting with leaders to join the SAD. No statement from KP has been revealed so far.
