As the Assembly elections are around the corner, SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal is regularly visiting Hindu religious shrines.

For instance, on the first Navratri, he went to Chintpurni temple in Himachal Pradesh and on Tuesday he left for Salasar Dham in Rajasthan.

An SAD leader said that some MLAs and ex-MLAs, including Sikander Singh Maluka, Jeet Mohinder Singh Sidhu, Kanwarjit Singh Rozy Barkandi, Harpreet Singh Kotbhai, Hardeep Singh Dimpy Dhillon, Prem Arora, Gulzar Singh, Hans Raj Josan, and Barjinder Singh Makhan Brar left from Badal village here on Tuesday morning in a luxury bus.

“Eariler, the SAD had an alliance with the BJP. However, now the alliance is over and the SAD has come into a pact with the BSP. Now, the SAD is trying to woo the urban voters and that’swhy its leaders are making all efforts to please the Hindu community,” said some elderly residents sitting in a park here.
