Jalandhar By-Election 2023: AAP takes huge lead over Congress

| @indiablooms | 13 May 2023, 12:14 pm

Chandigarh/IBNS: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has taken a huge lead over Congress in Punjab's Lok Sabha constituency Jalandhar, where byelection was held recently.

As the bypoll result is coming out, the AAP is leading by over 40,000 votes.

Sushil Kumar Rinku, a former Congress MLA who switched to the AAP, has got 1,80,352 votes as opposed to Congress candidate Karamjit Kaur who got 1,46,047 votes.

The election was necessitated as the Lok Sabha seat fell vacant after Congress MP Santokh Singh Chaudhary died.

Chaudhary had suffered a cardiac arrest during Congress' Bharat Jodo Yatra in January.
