Ludhiana : The Shiromani Akali Dal (Delhi) will support Congress candidates in the Patiala and Talwadi Sabo byelections. This was disclosed by Jathedar Jaswinder Singh Baliawal, president of the party’s Punjab unit.
Baliawal blamed Parkash Singh Badal for “ruining” Punjab that, he said, was once at the top in the country.
“Due to unemployment, youths have taken to drugs,” said Baliawal.
“The state government has done nothing to develop agriculture and industry in the state and the growth rate has plummeted, he alleged. He accused Badal of failing to safeguard the interests of the Sikhs.
“It is the right time to teach a lesson to the Badals. Otherwise, the economic and the social condition of Punjab will deteriorate further,” he said.
According to Baliawal, Paramjit Singh Sarna will start the election campaign from Patiala in favour of Preneet Kaur.
