Lambi, December 30
While Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal has insisted the Centre may postpone the Assembly polls, SAD patron Parkash Singh Badal has chosen to differ with his daughter-in-law’s opinion on the issue, saying it was unlikely.
Till Wednesday, both Badal and Harsimrat had together toured Lambi and addressed meetings. Badal said: “The EC has to conduct the elections and it comes under the Centre. But I don’t think the elections will be postponed in the state.” Harsimrat had yesterday said: “There is a ploy to weaken the state. Either the polls will be postponed or President’s rule will be imposed so that the SAD can’t form the government.” — TNS
