Bhai Baldeep recently announced to contest the bypoll as an independent candidate from Khadoor Sahib seat, which fell vacant after resignation of Congress MLA Ramanjit Singh Sikki in protest against sacrilege incidents in the state.

It may be recalled here that Bhai Baldeep was suspended from AAP earlier this year, along with Lok Sabha members Dr Dharamvira Gandhi and Harinder Singh Khalsa. His entry in the election field has brought new twist in the political scene as the bypoll, which is expected to be held in coming months, is being considered important for state politics in the wake fo 2017 assembly polls.
