Last time, there was a squabble over the Aam Aadmi Party's Rajya Sabha nominee. Opponents questioned the wisdom of sending Punjab's Raghav Chadha and Dr. Sandeep Pathak to the Rajya Sabha. Apart from these two, Harbhajan Singh, a former cricketer, Sanjeev Arora, a businessman from Ludhiana, and Ashok Mittal, the chancellor of Lovely Professional University (LPU), were also sent to the Rajya Sabha. That is why these two Punjabi faces are being sent to the Rajya Sabha this time. The Aam Aadmi Party will address the situation before the by-election in Sangrur with this. CM Bhagwant Mann has chosen both of the candidates.
