Senior Aam Aadmi Party leader Bhagwant Mann Friday filed his nomination papers for the Sangrur Lok Sabha seat in Punjab.

The AAP has pitted Mann against Congress's Kewal Dhillon and Shiromani Akali Dal's Parminder Dhindsa in Sangrur.

Earlier this month, the AAP leader had sought financial support from people for campaigning in the general elections, saying for electioneering "money is needed and I am requesting you to give 'Dasvandh' (one-tenth of income) so we can encourage people with clean image."
