Even if the ruling party would not have won the Jalandhar West by-election, raising questions on Mann’s future was not quite convincing. Merely because the AAP did not perform well in the General Elections cannot be the sole criterion for reconsidering his role.

The by-election was necessitated after the sitting Aam Aadmi Party legislator Sheetal Angural defected to the Bharatiya Janata Party. It was strange and surprising as to what made Angural desert the ruling party and switch over to the BJP, which has just two MLAs in the Punjab Legislative Assembly.

Videos of clash from Uttarakhand circulated on social media. In West Bengal, BJP accused TMC activists of assaulting its booth agents.

This change has come given the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections during which the index fingers were marked with ink. 

The by-poll to the Jalandhar West (SC) assembly segment will be held on July 10 and counting of votes will take place on July 13. 

As per AAP's source, names for the forthcoming by-poll to Punjab's Jalandhar West Assembly will also be discussed.
