Prem Singh Chandumajra and Others Rejoin Shiromani Akali Dal Ahead of Punjab Elections
Senior leader Prem Singh Chandumajra and his son Harinderpal Singh rejoined the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), boosting the party ahead of Punjab Assembly elections. SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal welcomed them, emphasizing Panthic unity and urging other former members to return. This follows departures from the breakaway SAD (Punar Surjit) faction, which has seen several leaders leave for other parties. Former leader Bibi Jagir Kaur is also reportedly set to rejoin SAD, signaling potential consolidation among Akali factions.
