Amritsar, Nov. 11 -- Former Punjab minister and Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) Patti (Tarn Taran) MLA Laljit Singh Bhullar, who is behind bars in connection with the suicide case of a warehousing official, on Tuesday announced that he would not contest the upcoming assembly elections. In a Facebook post, he said, "I have heard the sentiments expressed by the brothers and sisters of the Patti constituency regarding the party fielding me again in the upcoming elections. However, I have decided not to contest the election." He made the announcement days after he did not find a place in the party's first list of candidates for the polls. After Bhullar went to jail, his wife Surinderpal Kaur continued to lead his supporters in the segment. However, in April this year, the AAP inducted wrestler Jaskanwar Singh, popularly known as Jassa Patti, and elevated him as halqa incharge of the constituency. Bhullar's decision follows a major political controversy earlier this year involving the high-profile suicide by Gagandeep Singh Randhawa, the district manager of the Punjab State Warehousing Corporation in Amritsar. Two days after the suicide, Bhullar was arrested on March 23 after being booked under charges of abetment of suicide. His father and PA were also booked. The official, before consiming a poisonous substance at his residence in Amritsar, had released a video claiming that he was taking the extreme step out of fear of the then minister. Randhawa's wife had claimed that he was pressured to allot a warehouse tender to Bhullar's father. Amid opposition's uproar, Bhullar resigned. He was arrested from Mandi Gobindgarh. He was denied bail as the investigation progressed. Meanwhile, BJP leader Pritpal Singh Baliawal questioned in a post on X whether the former minister himself posted the update from jail. Bhullar's official Facebook account later came up with another post to clarify that it was shared through a moderator....
