A day after the Jalandhar secondary poll results, Aam Aadmi party leader Sushil Kumar Rinku, who won in the Jalandhar Lok Sabha constituency, met with AAP convener and Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, in Delhi on Sunday.
During this meeting, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann and MP Sanjay Singh were also present.
Sushil Kumar Rinku, former Congress MLA defeated his closest rival, Congress Karamjit Kaur by a margin of more than 58,000 votes, according to the Election Commission of India. Rinku has obtained 3,02,279 votes.
BJP candidate Inder Iqbal Singh Atwal was in third place, while Shiromani Akali Dal’s candidate Sukhwinder Kumar Sukhi, who is also backed by the Mayawati-led BSP, was in fourth place.
The partial vote, which took place on May 10, was necessitated after the death of Karamjit Kaur’s husband and Congress MP Santokh Singh Chaudhary on January 14 this year after a cardiac arrest while taking part in the Bharat Jodo Yatra of the game.
