When asked about whether Malvika will contest the upcoming Assembly elections from Moga constituency, Channi said that it will be the party's decision. Before the official ceremony, Sidhu met actor Sonu Sood and Malvika Sood at their residence in Moga.
Recently, Sonu Sood has voluntarily stepped down as the State Icon of Punjab. He stated in a tweet that the decision was mutually taken by him and Election Commission in light of his family member contesting in Punjab Assembly elections. Malvika Sood's decision to contest election was announced six months ago by Sonu Sood, but it was not revealed for which party she will contest.
Sonu Sood had earlier also met Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal, Shiromani Akali Dal leader Sukhbir Singh Badal and Captain Amarinder Singh.
