Punjab Congress Chief Partap Singh Bajwa today hinted at taking action against leaders not canvassing for party nominees for the May 19 Zilla Parishad and Block Samiti elections.
"We will set up a committee to look into the matter and take action against those who have not yet joined the campaign," he said while interacting with reporters here.
He was replying to a question on Raninder Singh 'Tikku', who has not been campaigning for party candidates in Samana constituency.
Tikku, son of former Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, briefly made a public appearance in Patiala city during a function organised at National Institute of Sports on April 30.
Shiromani Akali Dal and Bharatiya Janata Party have made the absence of Tikku, a major election issue.
