CPI leaders criticised AAP and Congress leaders from Punjab for their decision to stay out of the India Bloc in Punjab. CPI secretary Bant Singh Brat and CPI (M) secretary Sukhwinder Singh Sekhon, in a statement, said that AAP and Congress leaders decided to stay out of the bloc just to satisfy their egos.

Gurnam Kanwar, state executive member of CPI said that parties will decide on the rest of nine seats in Punjab later.

“If the party doesn’t field more candidates on the other seats in Punjab, we will support the strongest candidate either of AAP or Congress to defeat Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidates, he added.
