Chandigarh, April 16 The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday named four more candidates for the Lok Sabha seats in Punjab.

With this, the party has completed its list for the 13 Lok Sabha constituencies that will go to the polls on June 1

Muktsar legislator Jagdeep Singh Kaka Brar is the candidate from Ferozepur.

The party has announced the candidature of former Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) legislator Pawan Kumar Tinu from Jalandhar (reserved).
