Congress leader Jagmohan Kang joined AAP ahead of Punjab assembly polls. Along with him his sons Yadvinder Singh Kang and Amarinder Singh Kang also joined AAP.
Days before Kang has said he will contest the elections independently from Kharar after being denied the ticket from Congress. He also slammed Punjab CM Channi for not giving ticket to his son and said " CM's tilt towards Tinku was because of common business interests between the two."
