:dateline:While the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has decided not to contest the upcoming by-poll elections in Dhuri, Vikram Singh “Dhanaula” has challenged Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal to have a family member contest the elections against him.

Responding to a recent comment by Sukhbir Badal challenging the Aam Aadmi Party for elections in Dhurni, Vikram Singh announced on his Facebook account�that while for whatever reason AAP has decided not to contest the elections, he accepts Sukhbir’s challenge as an ordinary person (aam aadmi). �”I challenge Sukhbir Badal to nominate�any member of his family against me,” he added.

Meanwhile, member of parliament Bhagwant Mann has made it clear that the Aam Aadmi Party would not contest the by-elections.

He said the party is preparing itself for Punjab assembly elections 2017, and strengthening its base and organizational structure is the priority right now. �Before contesting any elections, the party wants to go through this practice�, he added.

Vikram Singh has been in the limelight recently for a number of reasons. �News of him hurling a shoe on Parkash Badal went viral on social media. �Vikram Singh was arrested and kept in custody for a number of days. �After his release, he took amrit and went on�a hunger strike at New Delhi Jantar Mantar to seek justice for 1984 Sikh Genocide victims.

Simranjeet Singh Mann has announced Surjit�Singh Kalabula as the candidate for Shiromani Akali Dal (A). �Due to Surjit Singh’s popularity and respect, Vikram Singh has been asked to step down as the contest between him and Kalabula would only help the Akali Dal.
