Simranjit Singh Mann, the Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) candidate, won the Lok Sabha bypoll in Sangrur, Punjab, which fell vacant after Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann vacated the assembly seat post his win in the state poll in March. He attributed his victory to Khalistani separatist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and said he would raise the issues of “Indian Army’s atrocities in Kashmir” in parliament.
“It’s a win of our party workers and of the teachings that Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale have given,” newly-elected Sangrur MP, who worsted AAP candidate said Gurmail Singh by a margin of 6,070 votes said.
