Gearing up for the forthcoming Sangrur bypoll, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab in-charge Jarnail Singh on Wednesday held a meeting with the MLAs and local party workers to chalk out strategies here in Sangrur.

Sangrur is known as the stronghold of AAP incumbent Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann from where he had won the parliamentary seat in 2014 and 2019.

The seat fell vacant after Mann resigned as MP following his victory from the Dhuri constituency in the state assembly polls.

Asking AAP workers to work diligently to ensure the victory of Gurmail Singh, Punjab-in-charge said that he is confident that AAP will again win this MP seat with a thumping margin. The ruling Aam Aadmi Party has roped in Punjab CM's close aide Gurmail Singh as the candidate for the Sangrur bypolls.

Gurmail is a post-graduate in maths and has also done an MBA. Before entering politics, as a full-time politician, he was a teacher and taught children at various schools till 2018.

Congress has fielded former MLA Dalvir Singh Goldy from Sangrur. Kewal Singh Dhillon will fight from the Sangrur seat from BJP.

B.C. government announces changes to graduated drivers' licensing regime

The British Columbia government is making changes to its graduated drivers licensing regime, eliminating the need for a second road test to obtain a full licence. Public Safety Minister Garry Begg says the changes, if approved, will see new drivers get "on-road experience" and be subject to a 12-month restriction rather than be required to take another test to get their Class 5 licence.
