Former Enforcement Directorate deputy director Niranjan Singh disassociated himself from the Akali Dal Waris Punjab De (AD-WPD) just days after joining, citing 'non-negotiable differences' on certain issues. Singh had initially supported the party's stance against Punjab's drug menace, corruption, and gangster involvement but emphasized that public conduct must align with the Constitution of India. AD-WPD leaders expressed surprise at his departure, noting prior awareness of the party's ideology. The party plans to contest the upcoming Punjab Assembly elections despite registration pending.
