Carrying forward their fight for a strong Lokpal, Team Anna members will campaign in Punjab on Tuesday.

The team's visit to Punjab will coincide with Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's second visit to the state.

Those who will campaign in Punjab include former IRS officer Arvind Kejriwal, former IPS officer Kiran Bedi, Manish Sisodia, Kumar Vishwas, Naveen Jaihind and Gopal Das.

Before kick-starting the campaign, the Team Anna will pay obeisance at the Golden temple, Amritsar.

Team Anna and its members and supporters do not favour any political party or any individual, a team member said, adding that the only purpose of the Anna team was enactment of a strong Lokpal bill.

Both ruling Shiromani Akali Dal-Bharatiya Janata Party alliance and opposition Congress in Punjab had traded charges of corruption against each other in run up to the polls scheduled for January 30.
