Akali Dal using BSP for political gains: Parminder Singh Dhindsa
Chandigarh, August 21
Senior SAD (Sanyukt) leader and former Finance Minister Parminder Singh Dhindsa today slammed state BJP leaders for joining the Akali Dal.
He said the manner in which SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal declared BJP turncoats as candidates on reserved seats of the BSP suggested the saffron party was behind the SAD-BSP alliance. Badal was merely using the BSP for political gains, he claimed.
Dhindsa said the seats on which BJP turncoats had been declared candidates after including them in the SAD were already reserved for BSP candidates and Sukhbir had “cleverly manipulated” these seats for himself and the BJP.
By fielding these candidates, Sukhbir was using the BSP cadre only for political gain, claimed Dhindsa. He expressed surprise over the BSP leadership not objecting to Sukhbir’s move. — TNS
