Akali Dal Waris Punjab De Alleges Delay in Party Registration by Punjab Government
Akali Dal Waris Punjab De leader Manpreet Singh Ayali has accused the Punjab Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government of delaying the party's registration with the Election Commission of India (ECI). The ECI sent two letters to Punjab's Home Department seeking objections to the registration, but no response has been received. Ayali claims the party meets all registration criteria and alleges deliberate delays by both the state government and the ECI. The party, led by jailed MP Amritpal Singh, has a growing support base ahead of upcoming elections.
