Addressing mediapersons, SAD (Sanyukt) senior leader Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa and Punjab Lokhit Party led by four-time former MLA from Ludhiana and former Jail Minister Malkiat Singh Birmi said they had formed an alliance and no party would be able to form the new government without their support.

Claiming Birmi had the support of 35 OBC wings, Dhindsa said in the next two weeks the third alternative would be visible in Punjab. He said people in the state were upset with all main parties and needed a third alternative, which no one party, including us, could offer but only a common alliance of Punjab-friendly groups of parties.

Birmi said his party would work in unison with the SAD (Sanyukt) and a united alliance would change the destiny of Punjab.

Dhindsa said the SAD, which would turn 101 years old on December 14, is a great organisation of martyrs, who always fought for Punjab and Punjabiyat. He said the remarks made by Channi in the Assembly against the SAD were insulting and couldn’t be tolerated. — TNS
