Chandigarh, January 30: Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) senior leader and Sangrur Member of Parliament (MP) Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday took over the reins of Punjab unit in Chandigarh.
Principal Daljit Singh Bhagta from Bathinda also joined the AAP, after Mann took over as the AAP chief.
Bhagta was allegedly insulted by some supporters of an Akali Minister. He holds 14 post-graduate degrees, said Mann.
The decision to reinstall Mann as party chief came close on the heels of the party’s core committee unanimously rejecting his resignation and forwarding its decision to the National Political Affairs Committee (PAC) for review last week.
It may be recalled that Mann had resigned the post following the apology controversy.
