Besides, Soni and Aujla, others who attended the meeting include former minister Raj Kumar Verka, former MLAs Inderbir Singh Bolaria, Sunil Dutti, Jugal Kishore Sharma, city party president Ashwani Pappu and Congress leader Madan Lal Dhingra.

“This was a meeting of party leaders who contested the recently held assembly elections and some other leaders of Amritsar, not of any individual,” Aujla said.

Amritsar mayor Karamjit Singh Rintu switched from Congress to AAP before the elections. He managed to induct several Congress councillors in the AAP to ensure continuation of his services as mayor.
