Congress has given a party ticket to Vijay Sharma from the Kharar seat of Mohali district.
The Congress has been accusing Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi of allegedly opposing his candidature from the seat.
Ever since Congress did not give him a ticket, Kang was threatening that his son Yadvinder Singh Kang would contest as an independent from Kharar seat.
Kang was the Minister of Animal Husbandry, Dairy Development and Fisheries in the Amarinder Singh-led government in 2002–07.
Voting for 117 assembly seats in Punjab will be held on February 20 and counting of votes will be held on March 10.
