While Amarinder Singh will be the chairman of the state committee, Leader of Opposition in the State Assembly Sunil Kumar Jakhar and senior leader Rajinder Kaur Bhattal will be its members.
The decison was taken today as the party formally started the process of selecting the candidates for elections to the four Municipal Corporations of Ludhiana, Jallandhar, Amritsar and Patiala, a party release said here.
All the aspiring candidates have been asked to submit their applications to the respective district presidents or the committee itself on May 8 at Jalandhar, Ludhiana and Amritsar and on May 9 at Patiala.
