In a significant political development, Sukhbir Singh Badal has stepped down as the president of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), marking the end of his nearly 15-year long tenure at the helm of Punjab’s oldest regional political party.
Punjab government orders 'strict action.'
Bikram Singh Majithia asked the Congress to stop “theatrical” visits to the state governor to redress the flood victims’ grievances, instead approach its own CM, Mann.
BJP national spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill said that it is now official that the AAP and the Congress are “one team.”
The newly appointed party chief rules out alliance with the SAD in the state.
"The AAP government is duty bound to disclose how a sealed report was made available to the AAP leadership and was also leaked to the media,” Prof Chandumajra added.
Accusing the Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann of heading the royalty scam in league with AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal, Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia displayed receipts showing how only a fraction of the Rs 7 per cubic feet loyalty announced by the government on sand was collected by the state government, indicating underhand collection from inter-state vehicles by AAP.
AAP said the work is underway to generate 1200 MW of solar power by next year and 2300 MW by 2024.
SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia said that it was shocking that the same party which had criticised the Union budget, asserting it would cause inflation, was increasing taxes even before presenting the state budget.
In 2021, the Dera chief, along with four others, was also convicted for hatching a conspiracy to kill Ranjit Singh, a Dera manager. The Dera chief and three others were convicted in 2019 for the murder of a journalist over 16 years ago.
