SAD Appoints New Constituency In-Charges for Budhlada and Bathinda Rural
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) appointed Balwinder Singh Hakamwala and Jaskaran Singh Gehari Buttar as constituency in-charges for Budhlada and Bathinda Rural Assembly segments, respectively. Both appointees are retired patwaris with local ties. SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal praised their reputations and commitment, highlighting Jaskaran's opposition to alleged inflated canal irrigation figures under the Bhagwant Mann government. These appointments follow recent resignations from SAD posts and aim to strengthen the party ahead of the 2027 Vidhan Sabha elections.
