Party MP Bhagwant Mann has been named as the chairman of campaign committee for Punjab.

The list included advocate Harinder Singh Phoolka who will contest from Dakha in Ludhiana district. Phoolka had unsuccessfully contested the 2014 Lok Sabha elections on AAP ticket from Ludhiana.

The senior lawyer had led a campaign to get justice for the 1984 anti-Sikh riots victims and could be a strong contender for being projected as the party’s chief ministerial face.
