Lok Sabha 2014: Heavyweights prefer relatives as proxy candidates in Punjab
CHANDIGARH: It's family first in Punjab when it comes to fielding covering candidates for the April 30 Lok Sabha polls as major political players like SAD, BJP and Congress are trusting none other than their closest relatives.
Withdrawal of nominations for the 13 seats in the state is on April 12. There are nearly 20 covering candidates in the fray here.
Parties name a
covering candidate so that if the main nominee's papers are rejected, the
covering candidate becomes its official nominee.
According
to the Election Commission website, a majority of the candidates
have preferred their spouses as covering candidates.
Punjab Congress chief
Partap Singh Bajwa, in fray from his traditional Gurdaspur seat, has his wife
and sitting MLA Charanjit Kaur as his covering candidate.
In Hoshiarpur, Sudesh
Sampla has been named as covering candidate for her husband and BJP candidate
Vijay Sampla while sitting Congress MP Mohinder Singh Kaypee has his wife Suman
Kaypee as cover.
Same
is the case in Anandpur Sahib -- Balwinder Kaur named for husband and former MP
Prem Singh Chandumajra of SAD and Ludhiana too where BSP's Navjot
Singh Mandair filed his papers with wife Jasvir Kaur being the covering
candidate.
Union minister
Preneet Kaur of Congress, seeking re- election for the third consecutive time
from her traditional Patiala seat, is being covered by her son Raninder Singh.
SAD's Deepinder
Dhillon filed his papers with his wife Rupinder Kaur as covering candidate from
Patiala.
From Jalandhar seat,
Santokh Singh Choudhary of Congress has named his son Vikramjit Singh as a
covering candidate.

candidate from Bathinda, Harsimrat Kaur Badal, filed her nomination papers here
with her brother and Punjab Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia as a cover.
Gurdas Singh Badal,
father of Congress candidate Manpreet Singh Badal and brother of Chief Minister
Parkash Singh Badal, filed his nomination papers as the covering candidate for
Manpreet.
This trend of having
a covering candidate from the family was also reflected in Ferozepur, where
Krishna Rani has filed as a cover for husband and SAD candidate Sher Singh
Ghubaya.
SAD MLA from Bassi
Pathana assembly segment, Nirmal Singh, who is husband of sitting MP and party
candidate from Faridkot parliamentary constituency Paramjit Kaur Gulshan, filed
nomination papers as her covering candidate.
Krishan
Kaur, wife of Congress candidate from Faridkot Joginder Singh Panjgrain,

Chandigarh, April 2 - Punjab Director General of Police Sumedh Singh Saini has proceeded on leave.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has asked the Punjab Government to immediately recommend names of three officers for the selection of the new DGP till Saini remained on leave.
Sources said DGP Saini, whose transfer was sought by the Punjab Congress on the plea that he had been chargesheeted in a criminal case, today sent a leave application, which was accepted by the Election Commission. The new DGP was likely to be appointed within a day, said a senior official in the ECI.
The state government has been asked to suggest a panel of three senior-most IPS officers serving in the state. The new DGP will be appointed from amongst them by the ECI.
The state government is reportedly forwarding the names of 1981-batch IPS officer GD Pandey (serving as the DGP-cum-Commandant General of Punjab Home Guards), 1982-batch IPS officer Suresh Arora (serving as the DGP-cum-Chief Director, Vigilance Bureau) and 1982-batch officer Sanjiv Gupta (serving as the DGP Security and Vigilance, Punjab State Power Corporation Limited).
The controversy about Saini arose after Congress spokesperson Sukhpal Singh Khaira repeatedly complained to the ECI, seeking Saini’s removal on the ground that he was chargesheeted by a special CBI court in November 2006 for kidnapping and disappearance of three persons.
Senior Congress leaders, including sitting MPs, had also approached the ECI seeking his transfer, alleging that he enjoyed close proximity to the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister and would not allow free and fair elections.
The Punjab Government had been constantly declining to remove Saini claiming that he had already overseen two elections since his appointment as the DGP. However, with the ECI getting active by gathering its own feedback and then transferring officers, the state government had got enough indication that DGP Saini would also be removed. To avoid that situation, Saini proceeded on leave today.
