Jalandhar: Shiromani Akali Dal, which was searching for a candidate from Jalandhar seat during the Lok Sabha elections, is now completely focusing on an external candidate. This is because the party is looking at Harmohan Sandhu, son of late Akali leader Satwant Kaur and retired SSP from Chamkaur Sahib, as a rival to Congress candidate Charanjit Singh Channi. Although discussions were also held with former Phillaur MLA Baldev Khaira and disgruntled senior Congress leader Mohinder Singh KP, although KP is publicly saying that he will not leave Congress and join any other party.
It is noteworthy that Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal, who was camping in the city for the last two days, had serious discussions with the provincial and local leaders of the party. During this discussion, while there was discussion on fielding candidates from Jalandhar for the Lok Sabha elections, there was also discussion on appointing all the office bearers of the district at the mandal level to strengthen the party from constituency to booth level. Information sought at ward and booth level. On this occasion, he also honored many newly created divisional presidents and asked to immediately appoint party in-charge in West and North assembly constituencies.
District Rural President of Shiromani Akali Dal and former MLA Gur Pratap Singh Wadala said that during the meeting, President Sukhbir Singh Badal directed the party leaders and officials to go among the people and inform them about the policies of the party. He said people should be made aware of the difference between the Shiromani Akali Dal, which represents the interests of Punjab, and rival parties in the state. On one side there are sects and on the other side there are Dharavi of Delhi, who have harmed Punjab.
Party's District Urban President Kulwant Singh Manhan, Central Circle in-charge Iqbal Singh Dhindsa, former Phillaur MLA Baldev Khaira and other leaders were present in the meeting.
