Punjab PCC chief and ex-cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu is given Amritsar East constituency while CM Charanjit Singh Channi will contest from Chamkaur Sahib constituency.

A lot of eyes are on Malvika as this marks her political debut. When she joined the Congress, actor Sonu Sood accompanied her. But Sonu Sood has taken a drastic decision to stay away from politics and he also clarified that he would not be campaigning for her sister.
For his philanthropic work, Sonu Sood received huge appreciation and there was anticipation for his political debut too. But Sonu kept politics at bay despite his sister being in poll foray.
