Preneet Kaur and her AAP challenger Balbir Singh filed their nominations in Patiala while the AAP's Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal filed his papers from Amritsar.

BJP candidate Arvind Khanna filed his papers from the Sangrur parliamentary seat while SAD nominee Virsa Singh Valtoha submitted his nomination for the Khadoor Sahib seat in the Tarn Taran district.

Nominations can be filed till May 14 while scrutiny of papers will take place on May 15. The last date for the withdrawal of nominations is May 17.
