&lt;br /&gt;
==Political timeline==&lt;br /&gt;
Simarjeet Bains started his career as an  [[Independent politician|independent]] member of the [[Punjab Legislative Assembly]]. Along with his brother, [[Balwinder Singh Bains]], he established the [[Lok Insaaf Party]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Delhi/Bains-brothers-float-Lok-Insaaf-Party/article16084961.ece |title=Bains brothers float Lok Insaaf Party |work=The Hindu |date=2016-12-02 |accessdate=2019-05-16 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and made an alliance with the [[Aam Aadmi Party]] for the [[2017 Punjab Legislative Assembly election]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/bains-brothers-enter-into-alliance-with-aap-for-punjab-polls-4388146/ | title=Bains brothers enter into alliance with AAP for Punjab polls | work=indianexpress.com | date=21 November 2016 | accessdate= 16 May 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Bains also contested as an independent candidate from Ludhiana in 2014 general elections and gathered 2,10,917 votes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://www.eci.gov.in/files/file/2785-constituency-wise-detailed-result/ |title=Constituency wise detailed result |publisher=Election Commission of India |date=2018-08-10 |accessdate=2019-05-16 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; They left the AAP alliance in March 2018 following AAP national convenor [[Arvind Kejriwal]] issuing a public apology to [[Bikram Singh Majithia]], having earlier accused him of being the kingpin of the illegal drug trade in Punjab.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://theprint.in/politics/aap-disintegrating-punjab-kejriwal-apology-congress-waiting-capitalise/42556/ |title=AAP disintegrating in Punjab after Kejriwal apology, Congress waiting to capitalise |publisher=The Print |date=2018-03-16 |accessdate=2019-05-16 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In December 2018, Lok Insaaf Party along with [[Punjab Ekta Party]], [[Bahujan Samaj Party]] and [[Punjab Front]] formed the [[Punjab Democratic Alliance]], which contested the [[2019 Indian general election in Punjab]] on all 13 Lok Sabha seats.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/aap-rebels-lip-s-bains-brothers-float-punjab-democratic-alliance/story-kvYNVoaUp3fNgvJiStPVfI.html |title=AAP rebels, LIP&amp;#039;s Bains brothers float &amp;#039;Punjab Democratic Alliance&amp;#039; |publisher=Hindustan Times |date=2018-12-17 |accessdate=2019-05-16 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
Bains&amp;#039; image as a public representative has often been marred by his flagrant displays of indecent behaviour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December 2016, Bains and a group of men lifted the toll barrier at the Ladhowal Toll Plaza, allowing people to drive through the toll without paying.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/nation/stranded-mla-bains-lifts-toll-barrier/341128.html|title = Stranded, MLA Bains lifts toll barrier}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2019, Bains was booked for intimidation and use of profanities against the Deputy Commissioner of Gurdaspur district. Various video clips that depict the choice of language adopted by Bains reveal the indecency in his behavior while dealing with respected government officials.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/archive/punjab/mla-simarjit-singh-bains-booked-for-using-abusive-language-against-dc-829641|title = MLA Simarjit Singh Bains booked for using &amp;#039;abusive&amp;#039; language against DC}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In April 2020, a Nihang Sikh chopped off the hand of a police officer on duty during the COVID-19 pandemic.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.theweek.in/news/india/2020/04/12/patiala-attack-cases-filed-against-accused-injured-cops-hand-re-attached-with-surgery.html|title=Patiala attack: Cases filed against accused, injured cop&amp;#039;s hand re-attached in surgery}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Bains&amp;#039; initial reaction of supporting the perpetrator&amp;#039;s actions caused disapproval not just in the ranks of Punjab Police but among general public as well. Amidst the discouraging and unthoughtful remarks of Bains, his security was temporarily withdrawn to make him a bit more empathetic towards police personnel - who were tolling day in and day out to keep the public safe while putting their own lives at risk during COVID pandemic.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.theweek.in/news/india/2020/04/14/punjab-police-withdraw-security-for-ludhiana-mla-who-justified-nihang-attack-on-cops.html|title = Punjab Police withdraw security for Ludhiana MLA who &amp;#039;justified&amp;#039; Nihang attack on cops}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personal life==&lt;br /&gt;
Bains&amp;#039; brother [[Balwinder Singh Bains]] is also an [[Independent politician|Independent]] member of the [[Punjab Legislative Assembly]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | url=http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/ludhiana/in-areas-of-bains-brothers-babbar-fails-to-impress/ | title=In areas of Bains brothers, Babbar fails to impress | work=indianexpress.com | date=25 April 2014 | accessdate=28 July 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/punjab/ludhiana-bains-brothers-start-anti-corruption-helpline/story-4dE7F68b8qQg9O7opLFraM.html | title=Ludhiana: Bains brothers start anti-corruption helpline | work=hindustantimes.com | date=13 April 2015 | accessdate=28 July 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
