AAP Appoints Deepak Bali as Jalandhar Cantonment Constituency In-Charge
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has appointed Deepak Bali as the new in-charge for the Jalandhar Cantonment assembly constituency, replacing Rajwinder Kaur Thiara. Bali, a long-time party functionary and Punjab general secretary, is tasked with strengthening AAP's presence ahead of the 2027 Punjab assembly elections. The change follows speculation about leadership shifts and potential electoral challenges to Congress MLA Pargat Singh. The party has not yet announced its candidate for the constituency.
