Shiromani Akali Dal Launches Three-Phase Punjab Yatra Starting at Religious Sites
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) plans a three-phase yatra across all 117 Punjab assembly constituencies, starting and ending each phase at significant religious sites to emphasize its Panthic identity. SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal will lead the campaign beginning November 10 from Talwandi Sabo, covering Malwa, Doaba, and Majha regions. The yatra aims to engage grassroots workers and reclaim political influence amid challenges from groups like Waris Punjab De, reinforcing SAD's religious and regional representation claims.
