Soondh too in race for Cong ticket

With the announcement of byelections to four seats in Punjab, the political scene in the Phagwara Assembly constituency is changing rapidly.
In recent developments, Tarlochan Soondh (Congress) and Rajesh Bagha (BJP), former chairman of the SC Commission, have also emerged as contenders for the rival parties.
Hailing from Phagwara, Soondh is the son of Jagat Ram who was assassinated during terrorism days.
Soondh, who has remained party MLA from Banga, was Congress’ Doaba in-charge when Rahul Gandhi visited the area a few years ago.

However, senior IAS officer Balwinder Singh Dhaliwal and former minister Joginder Singh Maan are also in the running for the Congress ticket.
