The Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab on Tuesday announced the names of four more candidates for the Lok Sabha elections. The Bharatiya Janata Party released its twelfth list with the names of seven candidates, three of whom will contest from Punjab. Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s election rally in Bihar, the Congress questioned why Bihar has not been accorded special status despite the BJP being in power at the Centre for 10 years. The Opposition party also asked for an update on the Centre’s plans to construct more airports in the state.

Here’s a look at today’s top developments:

• The Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab has announced the names of four more Lok Sabha candidates, including three sitting MPs, for the general elections. The incumbents who have been given a ticket again are Jagdeep Singh Brar from Ferozepur, Amansher Singh Kalsi from Gurdaspur and Ashok Parashar Pappi from the Ludhiana Lok Sabha constituency. Former MLA Pawan Kumar Tinu, who recently joined the Aam Aadmi Party after leaving the Shiromani Akali Dal, has been fielded from Jalandhar.
