Chandigarh: The Punjab BJP on Saturday announced former MP and senior party leader Avinash Rai Khanna as the party in-charge for the upcoming Ludhiana West assembly bypoll.
The party also appointed former union minister Vijay Sampla as the co-incharge, according to a statement.
The Ludhiana West seat fell vacant following the death of AAP MLA Gurpreet Bassi Gogi in January.
Gogi died at his home of a gunshot injury after his licensed weapon accidentally got fired.
The schedule for the bypoll has not been announced yet.
