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.
Punjabis are sentimentally attached to Chandigarh and will not allow any land to be given to Haryana in the state, said the SAD chief.
In a statement here, former minister Dr Daljit Singh Cheema said the farm unions were only asking the government to notify the demands which had been accepted by it in writing.
Senior SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia said, "Never in the history of the State has law and order descended to this level as under this Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government.”
Addressing a Press conference, senior leaders Dr Daljit Singh Cheema and Maheshinder Singh Grewal said Lalpura held a Constitutional post and was supposed to protect the interest of minorities.
The party issued a two-day ultimatum to her “to stop anti-party activities failing which strict disciplinary action would be taken against her”.
