The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) reappointed Bhagwant Mann as the state president of Punjab on Wednesday, in a bid to strengthen its prospects ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. The party's in-charge of Punjab affairs made the announcement after holding a press briefing with the Sangrur parliamentarian. Mr Mann had quit the post last year in protest against party convenor Arvind Kejriwal's apology to Akali Dal lawmaker Bikramjit Singh Majithia in a defamation case. The party had not accepted his resignation back then.
