Following his selection as the candidate for the Lok Sabha elections 2024 from the Anandpur Sahib constituency, Aam Aadmi Party leader Malvinder Singh Kang expressed his commitment to advancing the party’s principles focused on public service.
Malvinder Singh Kang, who parted ways with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2020 due to disagreements over the farm laws, joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in July 2021.
While speaking to ANI, Kang said, “They trusted a simple worker of the party like me. By giving me the Lok Sabha seat, Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann have increased the respect of party workers. We aim to uphold the core principles of the Aam Aadmi Party, centered on serving the public good. Our focus is on promoting transparent and ethical politics of the Aam Aadmi Party. We will go door-to door in Anandpur Sahib to appeal for votes”.
