Multiple Leaders Vie for Congress Tickets in Amritsar Urban Assembly Constituencies
Ahead of the Punjab Assembly elections, the Congress party faces multiple aspirants in Amritsar's urban constituencies, notably Amritsar North and Amritsar East. In Amritsar North, former BJP minister Anil Joshi and ex-MLA Sunil Dutti are key contenders for the Congress ticket, alongside others like Ashwani Pappu and Raj Kawalpreet Singh Lucky. In Amritsar East, the absence of a clear candidate after Navjot Kaur Sidhu's departure has led leaders such as Dinesh Bassi and Jasbir Singh Dimpa to emerge as potential nominees. The final candidate selections remain with the Congress high command.
