Before constituting the sub-committee, the SAD had set up a 12-member committee on Thursday to introspect on the results of the Punjab Assembly polls.

Notably, the SAD registered its worst-ever poll performance, winning only three seats in the 117-member Assembly. Many senior leaders of the SAD, including party patriarch and former chief minister Parkash Singh Badal, president Sukhbir Singh Badal and Bikram Singh Majithia lost the polls.

The Aam Aadmi Party stormed to power in Punjab for the first time by winning 92 seats.
