Appealed to people to vote in favour of Akali Dal
Ludhiana, May 26: Former president of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee Manjit Singh GK has said that only Shiromani Akali Dal can solve the problems of Sikhs and therefore it is necessary to bring the party to power.
Addressing a press conference here today, GK said that the Akali Dal has always prioritised the interests of Punjab over party interests. He disclosed that the SAD had placed certain conditions before the Bharatiya Janata Party to resolve the issues and problems of Punjab. Among them, the issues related to Punjab's waters, state capital Chandigarh, farmers' issues, stopping illegal interference by BJP in Gurudhams, were included.
He clarified, "When the BJP did not agree on these issues, giving priority to the interests of Punjab and Punjabi people, the party announced to contest the elections separately from the BJP."
Manjit Singh GK disclosed that he too left the Shiromani Akali Dal and formed his own party, but he rejoined the Akali Dal, because he understands that the Shiromani Akali Dal is the foremost representative organisation of Punjab, Punjabi and Sikhs.
He alleged that the Sikhs who are still in the BJP have done nothing for Punjab, apart from talking for the Sikhs. Whereas the Shiromani Akali Dal has now become very strong compared to the 2022 assembly elections and is getting massive support from the people.
Meanwhile, he appealed to the people to support his regional party Shiromani Akali Dal so that the party and Punjab can be strengthened again.
Apart from others, Shiromani Akali Dal Ludhiana Urban President Bhupinder Singh Bhinda, Baba Ajit Singh, Pratap Singh from Guru Gobind Singh Study Circle and Gurmeet Singh President Guru Gobind Singh Study Circle were also present.
