A law graduate, Gurpreet deals in farming and is also a lyricist by profession.

The new AAP MLA said: “His motive in politics is the all-round development of my segment and the welfare of the people. Keeping youth away from drugs and eradicating the menace from the society will also be my focus area.”

Gurpreet claimed: “All parties have ruled in the state, but now people have expressed faith in the AAP for the overall development. We will do well to meet their expectations.”

Talking about his priorities, he said: “We will not let the public down and will ensure best education, health facilities and basic civic amenities in the constituency.”
