As per sources, AAP is not likely to field candidates against the Bains brothers in around 4-5 seats to extend their support to them.

Bains brothers reportedly met AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal before deciding to make this announcement.

Bains brothers were part of Awaaz-e-Punjab, which was floated by cricketer turned politician Navjot Singh Sidhu.

The Bains brothers from Ludhiana had then floated an independent party by the name Lok Insaaf Party.
