Vikramjit Chaudhary
Tribune News Service
New Delhi, January 14
Punjab Congress incharge Asha Kumari told The Tribune today that the party had decided to replace Karamjit Kaur, the candidate from Phillaur, with her son, Vikramjit Chaudhary.
“The decision was taken after Karamjit met Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi and expressed her unwillingness to contest, being a housewife. She requested that the ticket be given to her son instead. The party has agreed.” Vikramjit, former president of the Punjab Youth Congress, is the son of party MP from Jalandhar Chaudhary Santokh Singh. His cousin, Chaudhary Surinder Singh, son of former minister late Chaudhary Jagjit Singh, is contesting from the Kartarpur seat on the Congress ticket.
