Lok Sabha Elections 2024: The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) on Monday fielded the father of the Punjab AAP MLA Jagdeep Kamboj Goldy as its candidate from the Ferozepur seat for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Surinder Kamboj, the father of Jalalabad MLA, joined the Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) on Saturday. This move comes after the BSP severed ties with the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) in February and decided to contest the parliamentary polls independently.
The decision to field Kamboj from Ferozepur was announced by Randhir Singh Beniwal, who is the BSP's in-charge for Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh.
Beniwal said that the BSP would soon announce its candidates for the remaining seats in Punjab. The BSP had declared its candidate for the Hoshiarpur Lok Sabha seat.
It's worth noting that the SAD and BSP had formed an alliance for the 2022 Punjab assembly polls.
