The Sanyukt Samaj Morcha (SSM) today announced an alliance with Haryana-based farmer leader Gurnam Singh Charuni as it named 20 more candidates for the upcoming Vidhan Sabha elections.
With this, the farmers’ political outfit has named 30 candidates. The SSM has decided to share 10 seats — Samana, Ajnala, Nabha, Fatehgarh Sahib, Bholath, Gurdaspur, Sangrur, Shahkot, Dakha and Dirba — with Charuni’s Sanyukt Sangharsh Party (SSP).
SSM leader Balbir Singh Rajewal said they would try to have a common election symbol. No symbol has been allotted to either of the party so far.
The list of candidates released by the SSM today did not figure the name of Ruldu Singh Mann, who had declared his candidature from Mansa, from where the outfit has fielded Gurnam Singh Bhikhi.
