While clearing the air about rumours being spread by the Akali Dal about Jathedar Ranjit Singh Brahmpura and Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa rejoining the party,
both the leaders of Shiromani Akali Dal (Sanyukt) issued a joint statement stating that Sukhbir Singh Badal should stop dreaming of their return.
They said they won’t ever think of returning to Akali Dal. They said a person living with sheer arrogance never yields something positive and it was because of this arrogance that Sukhbir paid the price in the 2017 Assembly elections and would be taught a lesson by people of the state in the upcoming elections too.
“The money looted by Sukhbir through sand, transport, liquor, cable and drug mafias is being used to oppress people’s voice, to which residents should give a firm answer,” the Panthic leaders said.
They said they had always strictly adhered to the principles of the SAD and would continue to do so. “We would not enter into any agreement with the Badals till our last breath,” they added.
Both the leaders urged the Shiromani Akali Dal (Sanyukt) leaders and workers to beware of the false rumours being spread by the Badals about their return.
No truce with Badals, says SAD (S)
