Chandigarh : Senior Congress leader Lal Singh was today appointed Chairman of the Punjab Mandi Board with the Cabinet rank.
A party functionary said Lal Singh, senior vice-president of the PPCC, had been “compensated” for being denied ticket from Sanaur due to the one family, one ticket norm during the recently held Vidhan Sabha elections. His son, Rajinder Singh, who was given the ticket, has won from the Samana Assembly segment.
Once opposed to Capt Amarinder Singh, Lal Singh later mended ways with him.
In politics since 1977, Lal Singh has fought eight elections and was elected MLA six times. He has worked with three Chief Ministers — Late Beant Singh, Late Harcharan Brar and Capt Amarinder Singh (2002-07).
Apart from working as acting president of the PPCC, Lal Singh has handled the work of the campaign committee of the PPCC during the recently Punjab Vidhan Sabha elections.
Sources, meanwhile, said more appointments in boards and corporations were in the offing.
