RUPNAGAR:Shiromanu Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal has termed the furlough granted to Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh as an election stunt by the Bhartiya Janta Party.
While talking to media persons here today Sukhbir Singh Badal said that BJP was resorting to such tactics to win the elections, but the people of the state knew everything.
He said that it was for the first time that a mafia king was declared as a chief ministerial face by the Congress.
He alleged that Congress government of the state of which Charanjit Singh Channi was a part, had only looted the people during five years and had not given scholarships to the students, pensions to the beneficiaries and cancelled blue cards.
Earlier, Sukhbir Singh Badal re-inducted former Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee(SGPC) member and Aam Aadmi Party leader Ajmer Singh Aulakh and his supporters in to the party during a function held here today.
He welcomed Aulakh back in to SAD fold and said that he (Aulakh) was a traditional Akali and his re-induction would strengthen the party.
He launched a scathing attack of Congress and Aam Aadmi Party.
In his address Jarnail Singh Aulakh said that he would work for the victory of SAD candidate from Rupnagar Daljit Singh Cheema and strengthen the party at grass root level.
Daljir Singh Cheema, SAD district president Gurinder Singh Gogi, SAD women wing leader Kulwinder Kaur, SAD leaders Dilbag Singh Mankoo, Mani Ladal and Maninderpal Singh Sahni also spoke on the occasion.
