Hockey India VP Nitin Kohli to Join AAP, Eyes Jalandhar Central Constituency

Jalandhar (The Uttam Hindu): In a significant development, Nitin Kohli, Vice-President of Hockey India and a prominent figure, is set to join the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday. The party's top leadership will be present in Punjab to welcome Kohli into the fold, thanks to the efforts of Deepak Bali, a well-known industrialist in North India.

Kohli's decision to join politics is seen as a major boost for AAP, particularly in the Jalandhar central constituency. Sources suggest that Kohli might be given the command from the constituency, and he could potentially be the party's candidate in the upcoming elections.

Kohli's association with AAP Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Mittal and his family is believed to have played a role in his decision to join the party. With Kohli's entry, AAP is likely to strengthen its presence in Punjab, and his candidature from the central constituency could be a game-changer in the state's politics.
