Shiromani Akali Dal to support Bahujan Samaj Party nominee for Jalandhar Assembly bypoll
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) will support the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP nominee in the bypoll for the Jalandhar West Assembly seat in Punjab instead of the candidate it had officially fielded, as she was picked by a panel, two of whose members have now rebelled against party chief Sukhbir Singh Badal.
The party is unable to change its “authorised candidate” now as the last day for this has already passed.
