IANS, 30 Oct, 2018 12:56 PM
    After talks with rebels failed, the Aam Aadmi Party on Tuesday announced the names of five candidates in Punjab for the 2019 Lok Sabha election.
     
     
    There was speculation that the state AAP may forge unity with the rebel group by consulting them on seat allocation.
     
     
    Party's core committee chairman Budh Ram said sitting MPs Bhagwant Mann and Sadhu Singh would contest from their respective constituencies, Sangrur and Faridkot.
     
     
    Ravjot Singh, who had contested the 2017 Assembly poll from Sham Chaurasi seat, will contest from Hoshiarpur.
     
     
    Party's Majha zonal in-charge Kuldip Singh Dhaliwal will contest from Amritsar and Narinder Singh Shergill, who had contested the 2017 Punjab Assembly poll from Mohali, has been given the ticket from Anandpur Sahib.
     
     
    Ram said the names of candidates for the remaining eight seats would be announced later.
     
     
    The AAP had won four seats during the 2014 Lok Sabha election.
